is it or would it be worth skipping the Preview release an go straight to the Release candidate?

Until I see a new kernel I can boot, I'm not going to admit there's a suitable release candidate to be offered.

Had you tried reinstalling from one of the rawhide snapshots yet? There

It will not happen.

I might boot a .iso, but so far haven't seen a reason to look for one to boot.


is every possibility your system has quirks that just shouldn't be there and its preventing you getting the newer kernels working. We always say systems that went through the early weeks of rawhide probably need reinstalled by the end..

It's nothing to do with initial RAM disks, and it does no only happen with Fedora/Rawhide kernels, I can reproduce it building my own kernel from kernel.org source.

It also is reproducible with Factory, the OpenSUSE equivalent to Rawhide.

The bug, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436099, is assigned to Alan Cox. I check it regularly, additional to watching my "bugs" email folder and keeping an eye on new rawhide kernels.


(checks private mirror)
Oh, there's a boot.iso, built April 9.

Burns to CD. Does not find the drives on the DC7700 I bought yesterday.

I can boot the CentOS 5.1 disk on the older one, that's what I plan to use on this system.

I mirror Rawhide nightly UTC+8:00; I don't know when the mirror I mirror from mirrors its mirror, but there's necessarily some lag. OTOH I don't get charged against my quota, and that's important.

Anaconda is 11.4.0.67, there are no kernel messages visible that identify it.
