Hide Forgot
Description of problem: After applying the 20110729 Rawhide updates, network doesn't work when booting into the newest kernel. It does work when booting into the older (3.0.0-1.fc16.x86_64) kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.1.0-0.rc0.git9.1.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: always Additional info: This is a VirtualBox 4.1.0 Rawhide x86_64 guest. Was not able to build the VirtualBox guest additions either for the new kernel, the following is the contents of vboxadd-install.log. Has something really basic changed with the new kernel which could cause both problems? I DO have the kernel, kernel-devel and kernel-headers packages for the new kernel. /tmp/vbox.1/Makefile.include.header:94: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.
With the new kernel, uname returns the wrong information. Even though I am currently running kernel-3.1.0-0.rc0.git9.1.fc17.x86_64, "uname -r" returns 3.0.1-0.rc0.git9.1.fc17.x86_64. This does not correspond to any of my 3 currently installed kernels, but appears to be the name of the latest kernel with "3.1.0" replaced by "3.0.1". That explains VirtualBox's confusion, anyway - the KERN_DIR variable depends on the value of `uname -r`.
This build should have a fix for the uname issue when it completes: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=256250 It might also solve some of the networking issues you were seeing. I built it locally and installed it in a KVM guest and networking was functional.

Networking works, uname output is correct, VirtualBox guest additions build and work.
Thanks for testing!
