From Troy at FNAL per Mail List:

QUOTE
Hello,
The Upstream Vendor (TUV) has released their first updated kernel since 6.1.  It has passed our tests, but we are going to put it into testing for a little bit so that people can try it out.

This kernel might go into the security errata.  But we are going to let everyone test it until at least Wednesday June 8, 2011.  If there aren't any big problems, we will then push it into the security errata area for SL6.

To test or update

SL6
-------

  yum --enablerepo=sl-testing update kernel\*

or you can download rpm's by hand at

http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/testing/i386/kernel/
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/testing/x86_64/kernel/

kernel-2.6.32-131.2.1.el6

Thanks
Troy Dawson

Yeah I tried this earlier, but because it updates alot of DRM code and stuff for the Mesa drivers I got a few hard locks because of mismatched graphics drivers, I use the r600 free driver for my radeons.

nVidia does not use the DRM/DRI infrastructure so it should be ok.

I've installed the new kernel per above, and all is well. I have Nvidia installed via Kmod so nothing needed to be done there. biggrin.gif
