This release arises as a result of a requested change to the
configuration [David Lee] and a bug-fixing change to the configuration
[Dag Wieers][Akemi Yagi]. We thank everyone for their contributions.

We provide these kernels for hardware testing in an effort to identify
new/updated drivers which can then be targeted for backporting as kmod
packages. Meanwhile, these kernels may provide interim relief to
people with non-functional hardware. We stress that we consider such
kernels as a last resort for those who are unable to get their
hardware working using the RHEL-6 kernel with supplementary kmod
packages.
These packages are provided As-Is with no implied warranty or support.
Using the kernel-ml may expose your system to security, performance
and/or data corruption issues. Since timely updates may not be
available from the ELRepo Project, the end user has the ultimate
responsibility for deciding whether to continue using the kernel-ml
packages in regular service.
The packages are intentionally named kernel-ml so as not to conflict
with the RHEL-6 kernels and, as such, they may be installed and
updated alongside the regular kernel. The kernel configuration is
based upon a default RHEL-6 configuration with added functionality
enabled as appropriate.
If a bug is found when using these kernels, the end user is encouraged
to report it upstream to the Linux Kernel Bug Tracker [1] and, for our
reference, to the ELRepo bug tracker [2]. By taking such action, the
reporter will be assisting the kernel developers, Red Hat and the Open
Source Community as a whole.
