                       Bug Fix  Advisory  #2004-018

 Package Name:      kernel
 Summary:           Update to Latest Upstream Version
 Advisory ID:       TSBA-2004-018-ES
 Date:              2004-08-16
 Affected Products: tinysofa enterprise server 2.0

 ===========================================================================

 Description
 -----------

    The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of
    the tinysofa operating system. The kernel handles the basic
    functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process
    allocation, device input and output, etc.


 Issues Addressed
 ----------------

    The kernel package has been updated to version 2.6.8.1.

    The updated package contains performance enhancements that are the
    result of profiling the kernel during benchmarking of the distribution.

    These enhancements should increase general system responsiveness, as
    well as provide throughput improvements in applications such as apache.

    The updated package also adds the dpt_i2o module.    


 Recommended Action
 ==================

  We recommend that all systems with these packages installed be upgraded.
