Testing idea: kernel 4.7 for Fedora 23 / Fedora 24

[Adam Williamson]

Hi folks! Just thought I'd send out a testing idea for anyone who's
looking for something they can do.

We currently have kernel 4.7 in updates-testing for Fedora 23 and
Fedora 24:

23 - https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-f1adaaadc6
24 - https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-2e5ebfed6d

it's always good to get new kernel releases tested on as much hardware
as possible, so if you haven't done it yet, please try updating the
kernel on any machines you have running Fedora 23 or 24. This command
should do it:

dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing update kernel*

then you can reboot, and check if all your hardware and your normal use
of the system works OK with the new kernel. If it does, give positive
feedback for the update; if not, file a bug and give negative feedback
for the update, with a link to your bug report. Testing kernel updates
is nice and safe, because even if it doesn't work well, you can just
reboot and pick an older kernel from the boot menu - Fedora will always
keep three kernels installed, so you have a fallback if the newest one
doesn't work right.

Thanks everyone! :)

Just as a quick note on other testing topics: for Fedora 25 validation,
we'll start getting nightly composes 'nominated' for testing again
soon, working towards the Beta release; Beta freeze is 2016-09-27, so a
month or so to go before we start thinking about Beta RCs. The Fedora
25 Test Days should also be starting up soon - Sumantro is away right
now, but I expect we'll start seeing announcements soon, so look out
for those! And of course, we can always test updates (not just the
kernel updates) for 23, 24 and 25. Happy testing :)

Hi,
tried dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing update kernel* for F24, did't get kernel 4.7. Have I to enable too something with Bodhi?
Kind regards

Yeah, sorry folks, I didn't realize they hadn't been pushed to the
repos yet. It should work soon.

Adam,

Yesterday I installed kernel-4.7.2-201.fc24, and it runs well until now, 
including suspend/resume.

Kind regards

I just tried that on F24, and it wanted to update to 4.6.7-300, not 4.7.2, so 
I answered n.

Hi,
have updated the F23 Kernel to 4.7.2 -> so far no problems, an update of F24 is still not possible Kernel 4.7.2 seem so far not to be in updates-testing.
Kind regards

Thanks for the report, and the same to Neal! Can you please file
feedback on Bodhi if you haven't already? That's the important thing,
as it's the +1s and -1s on Bodhi that determine whether the update will
be sent stable. Thanks!

Hi
just loaded Kernel 4.7.2 in F24, boot ok, so far no further problems. Acer Laptop E15 E5-571G, F24 on an usb 3.0 flash medium.
Kind regards
