[elrepo] Kernel-ml and the Userland ACPI Daemon

[Alan Bartlett]

Early last December, 2013, a report [1] was made in our bug-tracker
which showed that breakage occurs in the userland acpid-1 process when
any kernel-ml package >= 3.12 was in use. A corresponding report [2]
was also made, upstream, in the kernel.org bug-tracker.

As a consequence, any system which made use of our kernel-ml package
suffered from a non-functioning acpi sub-system.

We are pleased to announce that Johnny Hughes, of the CentOS Project,
has built an acpid-2 package (64-bit only) and it is now available
from the CentOS Project's Xen4 packages repository. [3]

Installation of that acpid-2 package provides a fully-functioning acpi
sub-system for our kernel-ml package, as well as our kernel-lt
package. From our limited testing, it also appears that the acpid-2
package will support the distributed RHEL 6.5 kernel.

Thank you Johnny!

The ELRepo Team.
