FWIW: The nfs issues seem to be gone with this kernel.


A minor packaging bug:

Symptom: Installing the kernel prints a '/' to the console
# rpm -i kernel-2.6.8-1.521.i686.rpm
/


AFAIS, the cause is a missing output redirection of a popd in the
postinstall scriptlet.

# rpm -q --scripts kernel-2.6.8-1.521
..
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
[ -x /sbin/new-kernel-pkg ] && /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.6.8-1.521
if [ -x /usr/sbin/hardlink ] ; then
pushd /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/build > /dev/null ; {
        cd /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/build
        find . -type f | while read f; do hardlink -c /lib/modules/*/build/$f $f ; done
}
popd
fi
...

The "popd" should be "popd > /dev/null"
