It seems to come and go with various kernel releases. Right now things aren't too bad in rawhide, though I did have a yum update lock up the system during its transaction test. (This was after the mass rebuild and a yum update was updating over 5000 packages. I ended up doing it in smaller chunks, which was faster as well as not triggering the problem.) -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
