Hello!

 

As promised, we have pushed FC6 prerelease images to the trackers:

http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/

 

The following install-blocking bugs have been tested and should be fixed

in these images:

#206876: GRUB claims initrd is too big for memory on x86_64

#206453: installed x86_64/ppc system missing initrd, cannot boot

#206202: Anaconda traceback during lvcreate on ppc64

#206913: Anaconda exception on upgrade from FC5

#208080: ahci/ata_piix mixup causes Anaconda to not find SATA disks

This is not a complete list of bugs fixed, just some of the most

troublesome installer bugs from Test3.

 

There *is* a known bug when trying to install using Fedora Extras in

this release. Luckily we already have a fix for it that you can use with

these images! Just follow the directions here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Updates

You can get the update image from here:

[url=http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/updates-fc6pre.img]http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/updates-fc6pre.img

This will also help us test the Anaconda Update code, so if you're

thinking of using Extras, please give it a shot!

 

Another note: the keyboard won't work in firstboot. The mouse is fine,

though, so you can click your way through. I believe we already have a

fix for this, but it just didn't make it in time for this release.

 

Enjoy the updated images, and happy testing. Be sure to keep your

newly-installed FC6pre systems up to date and keep on testing as we make

the final push towards the release of FC6!
