As also mentioned here

my PS/2 keyboard stopped responding with the new kernel. I changed back to the old kernel, and it works perfect again.

Invalid bug ID
'5638.' is not a valid bug number.

Edit : It's a valid bug id.. just remove the '.' trailing after 5638 .

No, '5638.' is not a valid bug number - it is not a number. '5638' is a number.

In the German forum, Igi2003 suggests that the kernel is corrupt, and recommends to use a kernel from pbone.net instead: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,45184.msg218949.html#msg218949

I wouldn't trust that to be true. Corrupt rpms will not be installed - rpm will reject them as invalid.

pbone.net is just pointing to CentOS mirrors in any case, and they are the same sources as are used for SME server yum updates.

Please post followup comments to bugzilla, and not to here. Thanks.

That´s not true. Corrupt rpms will be installed. After Installation the Kernel was active. See here:
In this protocol is an error, but the Kernel was installed and activated.
