Hello,

I was wondering if you plan to compile and or qualify the new "largesmp"
kernel that Red Hat ships with RHEL 4 Update 3 and beyond?  This is the
new kernel that supports > 8 x86_64 CPU cores.  Since the changes
required to support > 8 cores broke the kABI, Red Hat decided to make a
new RPM called kernel-largesmp.

Thanks for any info.
