I've opened a Bodhi issue as well, there was negative karma saying the kernel is unusable before the push to stable, perhaps the settings are not strict enough? https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/issues/2874 This isn't a bodhi issue. We push kernel updates manually. There are so many hardware combinations out there we often have to make our best judgement about when to push an update even if it may not work on all combinations. It does look like we've increased the firmware requirement in the past so we can see about adding that when the firmware package gets built. It's also really hard to do a kernel <-> firmware dependency, ultimately why did it work with 4.18 and not with 4.19 when the firmware was missing? That could be argued it's a kernel regression because it should fail gracefully, but I ultimately aren't sure that's something a distro can get 100% right because as Laura said there's a lot of HW <-> kernel <-> firmware combos. linux-firmware-20181219-89.git0f22c852.fc29 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 29. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-ba224c644f linux-firmware-20181219-89.git0f22c852.fc28 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 28. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-7d88c302b7 *** Bug 1661275 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** linux-firmware-20181219-89.git0f22c852.fc28 has been pushed to the Fedora 28 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for instructions on how to install test updates. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-7d88c302b7 Assuming I am looking at the right upstream git repo, a good place to start fixing the linux firmware release process would be to use git tags. There are no tags here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/refs/ linux-firmware-20181219-89.git0f22c852.fc29 has been pushed to the Fedora 29 testing repository.

With over 20 comments it would be easy to overlook a few negative comments. Bodhi should show negative karma *separately* in the summary column. security update in Fedora 29 for kernel and kernel-headers https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-2645eb8dab > There is another Bodhi issue -- the summary column only shows *net* karma. > > With over 20 comments it would be easy to overlook a few negative comments. > Bodhi should show negative karma *separately* in the summary column. > > security update in Fedora 29 for kernel and kernel-headers > https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-2645eb8dab This is not the place to comment on bodhi bugs, it'll get lost in the kernel bug, please report it: https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/issues/ linux-firmware-20181219-89.git0f22c852.fc28 has been pushed to the Fedora 28 stable repository.
