FWIW: Not sure if this bug I reported is related: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473101 Personally, I'm not specifically interested in running Fedora on that HW (I only check every Fedora release of the problem is still there ;-)), but I *am* interested in running RHEL6 on it (like I use RHEL4 and RHEL5 on it now), so I'm pretty scared about the future... And this maybe is an "old" chipset, in some people's opinion, but it is HW that is sold *today*. Specific HW like this POS HW or industrial stuff does often use older chipsets. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
