Synopsis: 2.6.18-294.26.1.el5.lve0.7.49 can now be patched using Ksplice

Systems running CloudLinux 5 can now use Ksplice to patch against the 
latest CloudLinux 5 kernel update, 2.6.18-294.26.1.el5.lve0.7.49.

Please note that the bug fixed by this update was introduced in the 
2.6.18-294.26.1.el5.lve0.7.44 CloudLinux 5 kernel, and so this update is 
not available for systems running kernels older than 
2.6.18-294.26.1.el5.lve0.7.44.

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on CloudLinux 5 install
these updates.  You can install these updates by running:

# uptrack-upgrade -y

DESCRIPTION

* Fix incorrect accounting of uninterruptible threads for load averages.

The CloudLinux scheduler did not correctly count uninterruptible
threads when computing load averages, resulting in reported load
averages that could be much higher than the actual load on the system.

SUPPORT

Ksplice support is available at support at ksplice.com or +1 765-577-5423.
