Yellow Dog Linux Bug Fix Announcement
-------------------------------------

Package:        Kernel
Issue Date:     Nov 19, 2004   
Priority:       medium
Advisory ID:    YDU-2004-11-19

1.      Topic:

Updated Kernel and Mac-On-Linux packages are available.

2.      Problem:

The kernel shipped with Yellow Dog Linux did not support thermal
management on G5 towers shipping at the time (PowerMac7,3). The
kernel also did not sleep (suspend-to-ram) on 15" Aluminum PowerBooks 
or iBook G4s.

3.      Solution:

        a) Updating via yum
        We suggest that you use the yum program to keep your
        system up-to-date. The following command(s) will retrieve
        and install the fixed version of this update onto your system:  
                yum update

        b) Updating manually
                rpm -Fvu [filenames]
