One final request from my side, as I don't have commercial RHEL6 support (I am using the free OL6 clone): Hoping that you have pretty good contact/access to Ben Skeggs (who I think officially owns the nouveau modules at Red Hat), can you please approach him and ask him to please take care of the fact that Red Hat also applies a (backported) version of this patch to their mainline stock RHEL 6.5 kernels? That would be great, as this is definitely needed to ensure that all those people with the affected older/low-end NVIDIA notebook chips - such as myself (and all the other now unfortunately silent people who initially created this issue) - will no longer be affected by this issue in the current RHEL 6 kernels (or don't need the explicit workaround using the kernel parameter PCRYPT=0)? Thanks a million for your kind help & best regards from Germany, Andreas</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
