Fedora 26 Alpha status update

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi folks! Just wanted to let everyone know where we're at with the F26
Alpha.

An Alpha RC2 compose request is in, and RC2 should be building at
present. The main change between RC1 and RC2 is a fix for the problems
with gnome-initial-setup: it should now work properly if you don't
create a user during install. There's also an updated selinux-policy
which should hopefully squish all the AVCs we've been seeing during
regular install and boot. It should arrive some time this evening US
time, all being well.

There does still seem to be some kind of kernel issue. Multiple people
have had a similar experience of booting an F26 VM and seeing boot fail
due to a kernel GPF. We've seen many different tracebacks, but it could
still all be basically the same problem. We have the following bug
reports so far:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1430297 (rwmj)
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194911 (Thorsten Leemhuis)

but I've also seen this happen a few times when booting virt-manager
VMs locally, and we're getting multiple reports from some folks doing a
test event today that they're seeing something similar.

It'd be good if folks can reply to one of the lists if they're also
running into something that sounds like this, with some details of your
experience - does it happen every time, or only sometimes? Do you
always get the same traceback, or different ones? What kernel versions
are affected for you? And importantly, does anyone see it on bare metal
(rather than with a VM)?

Basic plan is to get through all the Alpha testing with RC2 when it
lands and try to gather as much data as possible about the kernel bug
(and any other important bugs that emerge) before the go/no-go meeting
on Thursday.

Thanks folks!
