Re: Prepping for the last upgrade test

 

Hi,

well spotted, for some reason the alternates did not get the 2nd respin
when the kernel changed. This is being done now. All the test results will
stand and the gremlin mentioned in the -4 kernel will not be mentioned in
the release notes :)

Thanks for all the work on this one!

Regards,

Phill.
