Call for testing: 32-bit AMD CPU owners

[Joerg Lechner]

Hi,
I have access to a HP Pavilion dv 6000, AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-50, 1GB Ram. Installation possible for F22 i686 LXDE desktop.. I will try. But possibly I will need some support, because so far I did not any upgrade from a previous Fedora version to the next one. I will try, if I get problems in the procedure or in understanding, I will contact this thread.
Kind Regards

One additional
request: it's unclear right now (and we don't have
available hardware to test)
if there is also a failure happening on 64-
bit AMD systems that are running on
i686 Fedora.

If someone out there has access to hardware that hits BZ
#1263762,
would you please try installing Fedora 22 i686, updating to all
the
latest stable packages, plus dnf-plugin-system-upgrade from
updates-
testing and then do an upgrade using the supported mechanism[1]
and
verify whether A) the upgrade runs or aborts, leaving F22 present and
B)
if it completes the upgrade, is the system bootable and runnable.

This will
help us figure out how serious to rate this issue. (For new
installs, we can
probably advocate simply using the 64-bit media; for
existing installs,
irrecoverably breaking on upgrade could be a show-
stopper).
