   An update that has two recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:

   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 kernel was updated to fix the following
   issues:

   - Users of the PPC64 architecture used to experience process crashes and
     OOM errors because a bug in the kernel's stack management code caused
     stack corruption. [bsc#1116888]

   - A bug in the kernel's NFS code prevented users from mounting NFSv4
     shares. [bsc#1117042]
