I'll reserve judgement until I see how fast bugzilla bug #196556 gets fixed.

New Fedora test lead begins work (NewsForge) Posted Jul 20, 2006 16:56 UTC (Thu) by proski (subscriber, #104) [Link] What's so special about bug #196556 or its handling? Is it because it's affecting you? Then maybe you should put some more efforts into it, like checking the bare 2.6.17 with Fedora configuration, finding the patch on the config option that triggers the bug, adding some printk() in the suspicious places etc?

Anyway, my point, which you missed, is that if FC5 isn't beta for RHEL5, then why are the Fedora developers determined to release "errata" that are really nothing more than the latest untested code and wait for bug reports that will languish in Bugzilla for weeks? It's very clear that FC5 *is* the beta for RHEL5 and my "rather obvious" prediction is that RHEL5 won't be coming out anytime soon if it's going to ship with a 2.6.17 kernel.... unless they document the bug by declaring that RHEL5 won't support Promise FastTrack RAID (which I wouldn't put past Red Hat)!

A few points
Fedora Core 5 is not a beta for anything. Fedora Core 6 is the basis for RHEL 5 and the current development tree of Fedora is already based on 2.6.18 kernel.
