- Kernel update page including a list of bug fixes
- kernel level: kernel-2.6.18-348.el5.
From a mainframe perspective there are two new features included in this release. VDSO will speed up certain system calls (e.g. gettimeofday) and HyperPAV will help FICON based I/O quite a bit. So please enable it, especially for Oracle databases!
An interesting enhancement in subscription manager now allows packages to be "locked" to a certain release. They won't be automatically updated with the next RHEL 5.10 if locked to e.g. 5.9.
