security bug fixes from kernel 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11 (no additional security
fixes vs. latest stable Fedora 11 kernel.) 2.6.30.5-32 fixes these issues
from 2.6.30.5-28.rc2: - Missing LIRC drivers and scsi_debug driver. - Enables
PCI message signaled interrupts by default, which should fix some issues with
i915 video drivers. 2.6.30.5-43 fixes additional problems: - Kernel panic on
boot caused by stackprotector. - Failure to boot as a Xen guest. - Floppy
driver loading unnecessarily. (#519099) - Races in kthread code and clone
syscall. - Xen: guest crash when trying to debug (#458385) - b43 wireless
driver failing to load on iMac G5 - Hangs on older systems with Intel 440
chipsets.
