The current status of kernel-ml packages for EL6 is as follows:
The new configuration file for x86_64 has been created. The equivalent
for x86_32 (PAE) is nearly finished. The x86_32 (NONPAE) will be but a
few mouse clicks from the previous (PAE).
Once I am satisfied that all three configuration files are consistent
(by reviewing each and every menu option), a SRPM file will be
generated and then, when the moment is ripe, it will be submitted to
the ELRepo build systems.
Once I have all the relevant RPM files, I will upload them to a
location from which they may be accessed by those persons willing to
perform rigorous testing. The location will not be the elrepo-testing
repository. Please note that the packages will be pre-GA versions and,
having checked my notes, I can tell you that they will be the -rc6.1
version.

I can now provide another progress report. After numerous A4 pages of
scribbled notes and sore eyes, I have finally finished the two x86_32
kernel configuration files (PAE & NONPAE). Having bounced
configurations between 32- & 64-bit, I believe that I now have all
three in a consistent state. (Noting some previous discussion,
elsewhere, with regards to TOMOYO Linux Support, I have also enabled
it in these kernel-ml configuration files.)
All being well, I shall submit the SRPM file to the ELRepo build
systems and then see who will be available to give the resultant
-rc6.1 packages some testing -- using sacrificial VMs and, if
possible, on real iron.

Thats great Alan - I have several different real iron platforms to
test it on.<br>
