GFS-kernel bug fix update

Updated GFS-kernel packages that fix a bug and module-loading issues
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6, kernel release
2.6.9-67.0.15.EL.

The GFS-kernel packages contain modules that provide the ability to mount
and use GFS file systems.

The updated packages fix the following bug:
A problem caused by not using the necessary spin locks may have
caused an "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference" error, nodes
to hang, or a kernel panic.

In addition, the updated GFS-kernel packages are in sync with the latest
kernel (2.6.9-67.0.15.EL). The modules in earlier GFS-kernel packages
failed to load because they did not match the running kernel. It was
possible to force-load the earlier modules; however, with this update,
force-loading modules is not necessary.

Users are advised to upgrade to these GFS-kernel packages, which are
updated for use with the 2.6.9-67.0.15.EL kernel.

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
