Therefore, I will take a fairly hard line in this meeting with regard to issues. We can always find reasons not to ship this beta, but POWER is currently even ahead of us and they have far fewer packages...we don't look good if we wait around to be perfect just because we want to be PA. We're not PA, therefore we should compromise as necessary to get this out and ensure we've figured out what we need to get taken care of in GA or F18. I might add I'm far more concerned that we get onto F18 asap. I just started a vexpress scratch build that I believe will fix the problem with booting (just build MMCI in as I suggested before). I have also tested blc's nightlies on Panda ES and confirmed that does not boot correctly either. Therefore, for the beta, either we: 1). Leave the f15 kernel in the image for now and deploy an update asap that will allow people to upgrade to an F17 kernel. 2). Include the broken omap kernel in the image but don't make the image official at this time, and provide some instructions around how to temporarily get it working. Really, we could just say for the beta we won't make a Panda image available and just not copy it over to the mirrors. Those who want to test Panda can use a nightly for now, or the generic filesystem image without the kernel+install one of their choice. But delaying the beta by yet more time to wait on this is counterproductive. Thanks - I don't mean to sound pushy (well, I do, but in a nice way).
