Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
In v7 1.3, info test would give an "Warning" message if TechPreview modules was found during testing. This could cause confusion to user since a user may not expect a warning level message to result in failure, but the test got failed actually. This issue has been fixed in v7 1.4, now info test gives an "Error" message TechPreview modules are found in system.

Description QinXie 2011-06-21 05:05:05 UTC
currently, pre-review kernel taint were reported as warning, per discussion with greg, he agreed this should be an error. Belowing is current output by v7-1.2-25:
Warning: kernel is tainted (value = 536870912)

not sure how v7-1.3 report such error.

Comment 1 Rob Landry 2011-06-21 13:52:58 UTC
Tech preview should be a fail, you cannot certify with tech preview drivers.

Comment 2 QinXie 2011-07-04 02:09:52 UTC
Yes, it's a fail. I meant could v7 reported it as a "error" level msg, but  not "warnning" level thing?

Comment 3 Rob Landry 2011-07-06 19:42:31 UTC
Ah, I see; this will cause the log highlighting to pick it up during review as red.
