Greetings Jesse:

 From Progeny:

         "The most recent kernel security advisory (TSSA-2004:6552-01)
         contains a bug that may cause some customers machines appear
         to hang during the boot process while trying to load the loopback
         device or experience problems using netstat.  While we have a
         very thorough QA process, especially for something as important
         as the kernel, sometimes a bug will slip through. We have been
         working with the customers who have this problem to replicate
         it on our own machines and hope to have a fix shortly."

Thank you.
