You're right, but unfortunately 517625 has built up a lot of momentum as being for the ATI pcie_aspm issue, and we probably won't be able to knock it back to being about Quentin's NVIDIA issue. So we'd better leave it that way for now. As pcie_aspm=off fixes it for Ville-Pekka, his bug is 517625. 528393 is for a bug (or possibly bugs) which aren't helped by pcie_aspm=off. > > What do you think, should we maybe add something to the release notes > > about the Fedora 12 kernel possibly requiring BIOS updates on some > > systems?

The pcie_aspm bug is documented on the Common Bugs page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F12_bugs#radeon-pcie_aspm I think someone added a note to the F11 common bugs page about BIOS updates sometimes being necessary to resolve bugs, I'll probably copy that into the F12 page too. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
