Yeah. This happens. It isn't urgent. It will be fixed when https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-3.7.4-204.fc18 is pushed to stable. Feel free to test and add karma to make it happen faster. Moving to F18, since there is nothing that can be done in F17 to fix this. (In reply to comment #1) > Yeah. This happens. It isn't urgent. Well it shouldn't happen if we want to support upgrade path in Fedora to newer version. It pretty much messed up my system and it took some time until I realised where is the problem. > Moving to F18, since there is nothing that can be done in F17 to fix this. Yeah, that's right. Thank you anyway for your response. (In reply to comment #2) > (In reply to comment #1) > > Yeah. This happens.

The kernel versions are almost identical, so this really shouldn't have caused problems. (In reply to comment #3) > How did it mess your system up? The kernel versions are almost identical, > so this really shouldn't have caused problems. My system was unable to detect second display connected via DVI. Also the Gnome shell and animations were really slow. Interesting since the 3.7.2-204.f18 contains the 3.7.3 patch queue. The only real difference in the kernels at all is that the f18 kernel supports secure boot, and the f17 kernel does not. Does updating to the 3.7.4 f18 kernel change this for you in any way? It's plausible the initramfs contents were F17 based and somehow caused issues when switching to an F18 userspace. It's at least as likely as the actual kernels causing differences anyway. *** Bug 902441 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Closing this since the NVR should always be greater now that we are using different series for R between releases *** Bug 892771 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
