Fedora 8 Pre-Release Test Coordination

This page contains some installation tests that should be performed before Fedora 8.

Stop (medium size).png This page will change rapidly as tests are performed, and the test matrix could be expanded depending on test needs. You've been warned!

Current Testing Tree

The current public release candidate is RC3, which is available on http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/.

The final set of images (RC5) includes fixes for the bugs noted below. Current Rawhide includes these fixes also, so - if possible - use rawhide for testing instead of the RC3 images.

Status Whiteboard

These are notes on issues we've encountered that may not be on the blocker list yet.

  • #362721 : rhgb crashing/getting stuck on first boot. Still tracing this one; a reboot fixes the problem. Fixed: reverted to known-good rhgb-0.17.7-3.fc8 for F8 release
