Reassigning to correct owner, kernel-maint. Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora! Jon, Thanks for your input. I've pretty much given up with my efforts to further the Fedora cause. Here are my reasons: 1) I opened this case OVER a year ago. NO responses til now. Not exactly what I would call a timely response I'm sure you'll agree. 2) I have joined several of the fedora lists (fedora-dev comes to mind off the top of my head. I have posted to the list several times but have NOT received any responses except from Rahul. I'm NOT a developer but I HAVE a lot of experience working with systems (> 40 years) of all kinds. I will NEVER tell anyone that I know it all because I just don't. I do expect to be listened to when I request info or make a suggestion. EVEN if it's just to tell me to go to hell. This is not unreasonable, I do listen AND reply to other people when they address me. I just expect the same treatment. Regards, George... Jon, I have since had other experiences with upgrading systems... from fc6 to fc7 and fc8... With similar results... Systems that won't boot, failures in init, failures in nash. Failures due to my NON usage of labels. You don't expect people to use /dev/blah blah blah to want to upgrade? Regards, George... George - Thanks for your comments. In addition to working on bug triage, I'm also a Fedora Ambassador, so it's part of what I do to try to spread the usage of Fedora. I notice that the topic of this bug is an upgrade between arches (x86 and x86_64). I don't think that this has ever been supported - the last time I tried it I wound up with a really messed up system. I can relate to the lack of response on this bug, my current project is to zap other old bugs like this one. I see quite a number of them that have been touched by core developers, and a number of them that haven't been touched at all, such as this one. I'm also not a developer, just a power-user who volunteers time to triage bugs. I'll forward this to the QA team to see if there's something that we can do about it (I'm rather new to the team). PLEASE continue to use Fedora and report bugs that you see in Bugzilla. Don't confuse a potential lack of response with a lack of interest - the reports are valuable. One of the bugs that I recently triaged (bug 206655) had actually been resolved shortly after reported, apparently, but no one bothered to update the bug. As for the other bugs that you mention below, have you reported them or would you like help in doing so? Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions or concerns. Thanks! -Jon (This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora! Why are you wasting my time and yours with this bug? It was submitted about a YEAR AND A HALF AGO. Is there a better way to report bugs so that they get LOOKED at in a reasonable time frame? A year and a half is NOT acceptable! George... George - I'm going to go ahead and close this as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Please be assured that we take our issues with triage that we have extremely seriously, and there are plans in the immediate works to remedy this. Please see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JonStanley/BugTriageIdeas for some ideas that I had. They will be discussed at the community (physical) meeting known as FUDCon this weekend in Raleigh, NC, and I'll be able to get some concrete information to you at that time. I will do so via direct e-mail to you if you are interested. Thanks! -Jon Jon, Yes! I am interested... I guess my disappointment is apparent. I WANT to further the cause as it were and have a LONG (40+years) career in computing on MANY platforms and quite a few operating systems including what I call "down to the metal" programming. I've seen the goofs and oversights and have, I think, a LOT to bring to the community. I have, as I stated above, tried several times to get someone's attention but have NOT been successful. I sometimes get the feeling that it's a good old boy club that is afflicted with NIH syndrome (Not invented here). I'm heavily involved right now with CentOS AND Fedora (6) AND the RedHat variants as well. Thanks for your response and I do look forward to your emails. George... |
