Do not upgrade your CentOS 6 kernel to 2.6.32-431.1.2.el6

[rds100]

I have posted an advisory for our users here - https://www.fitvps.com/members/announcements/85/CentOS-65-kernel-2632-43112el6---DO-NOT-UPGRADE.html

But since not everyone is our user, here is a general heads up: Do not upgrade your CentOS 6 system with the newest kernel 2.6.32-431.1.2.el6. This would make your system unbootable.

This affects people with dedicated servers or KVM VPSes. People with OpenVZ VPSes should not worry, since they are using the hosnode's kernel.

There is already an entry about this in the CentOS's bugtracker - http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6831

Yep, that and the fact that there still are issues with E1000e-cards...

uname -r
