[....] In that case, you should download your kernels directly from kernel.org. It's not a big deal to compile a kernel on your own. 1. Download e.g. the latest mainline kernel from kernel.org 2. Unpack it into /usr/src 3. Copy the latest .config from your actual Fedora kernel (/boot) into the root of the kernel sourcetree 4. "make oldconfig" (maybe you have to configure some new options here) 5. "make" 6. "make modules_install" 7. "make install" 8. Reboot your new kernel This kernel lives peacefully alongside your Fedora kernels, and you can delete the respective files under /boot, the sourcetree and the modules in /lib/modules/ if you want to remove it. You do not damage your Fedora kernel installation or the like. It's safe. If you want to bisect, the steps to compile the cloned kernel sources are the same as above. Btw: there hasn't been any update to -stable in nearly 2 weeks, because the stable maintainer was too busy to push out a new release during this period. However, 3.16.4-rc1 was released today and will soon be transferred into 3.16.4. Btw2: didn't disabling irqbalance workaround the phenomenon? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
