Kernel bug mailing lists
by Laura Abbott
Hi,
This is a friendly reminder that the kernel has some aliases to help with
specific kernel bugs. When bugs related to a specific subsystem come in,
you can add the alias in cc for more help in looking at the bugs. The
kernel is big and we rely on other kernel experts to keep things running.
The current list of aliases is at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage#Triage_Quickstart
The people on these aliases are managed in ansible. We're also open to
adding new aliases if there's interest.
Thanks,
Laura

Some more info on this, the user with a x250 is reporting
the problem is hard-freeze about once a day, which goes
away when disabling LPM, so if you have a 50 series Lenovo
laptop and are seeing the occasional hard-freeze this may
be the cause.

Serious problem with SATA LPM in F28 on Lenovo 50 series laptops
by Hans de Goede
Hi All,
I'm sending this to the fedora-kernel and -devel lists
both to get the kernel team aware of this and because it
is not entirely clear to me how to best deal with this.
I guess we should get this added to the release-notes /
common-bugs page for F28, but I'm not sure what the
procedure is for that ?
I've just become aware that at least for some users
the use of SATA LPM in F28 causes the Lenovo 50
series laptops (confirmed X250, T450s G50-80) freeze/
hang hard under certain conditions when using SATA
LPM, independent of the disk used (*).
This is currently being tracked in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1571330
A known workaround is to add: "ahci.mobile_lpm_policy=0"
to the kernel boot command line.
Can someone help me to get this documented? Once we've
figured out what is going on I hope to be able to fix this
with a kernel update, but people may still need the
workaround to install Fedora 28.
Also if people are using Fedora 28 on a 50 series Lenovo
laptop without issues, please let me know. 3 independent
reports points to a common problem, but maybe there is
some other factor in play.
Regards,
Hans
*) So blacklisting disks by their model string which
is the normal way to workaround LPM issues does
not work.

Custom compiled 4.17 kernel has a file conflict with COPYING for
kernel 4.16
by stan
Hi,
I built a custom kernel from the src.rpm for 4.17.0.0. When I tried to
install it, it failed with errors like the following:
Error: Transaction check error:
file /usr/share/licenses/kernel-core/COPYING from install of
kernel-core-4.17.0-0.rc0.git4.1.20180407.fc28.x86_64 conflicts with
file from package kernel-core-4.16.0-0.rc6.git3.1.20180325.fc28.x86_64
But this is just the GPL v2 license. Did the kernel change its
license? And, if it did, how do I make the transition, other than
force installing the new version?
Thanks.

Kernel 4.16 rebase plans
by Jeremy Cline
Hi folks,
4.16 was released on Sunday and will soon be in the rawhide and Fedora
28 updates-testing repositories. Fedora will be following the same
rebase procedure as previous releases: after a few stable releases,
typically 4.16.2 or 4.16.3, Fedora 27 will be rebased to 4.16. Fedora 26
will be rebased shortly after that. This should all be complete by the
end of April.
Regards,
Jeremy
