fedora_requires_release_note requested: [Bug 972547] Anaconda hangs and crashes on netinstall on a system with 512MB of RAM allocated
by Red Hat Bugzilla 10 Jun '13

Product: Fedora Version: 19 Component: anaconda Adam Williamson <awilliam(a)redhat.com> has asked for fedora_requires_release_note: Bug 972547: Anaconda hangs and crashes on netinstall on a system with 512MB of RAM allocated https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=972547 ------- Additional Comments from Adam Williamson <awilliam(a)redhat.com> Discussed at 2013-06-10 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-06-10/f19final-… ker-review-4.2013-06-10-16.01.log.txt . Agreed that this is not accepted as a blocker. The 512MB listing in the documentation and hard floors in anaconda code (we can make the minimum for text and graphical different if we choose to) is not a guarantee that any installation attempt with that much RAM will work, but an absolute low-end on what amount of memory is needed before _any_ install attempt can reasonably be expected to work. As a graphical DVD install works with 512MB of system RAM (assuming swap is made available during partitioning), it doesn't seem a good idea to bump the hard floor above that number. However, I'm setting the release notes flag so that if the 512MB graphical net install failure isn't fixed prior to release, it can be documented: roughly "We know graphical network install with 512MB of system RAM is likely to fail, use text mode if you want to do a network install or DVD or live image if you want to do a graphical install, or get more RAM".

As such, I don't feel that your isolated error message warrants a release note. --Pete

fedora_requires_release_note granted: [Bug 909473] llvmpipe on x86 requires SSE2
by Red Hat Bugzilla 04 Jun '13

Product: Fedora Version: 19 Component: mesa Adam Williamson <awilliam(a)redhat.com> has granted fedora_requires_release_note: Bug 909473: llvmpipe on x86 requires SSE2 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=909473 ------- Additional Comments from Adam Williamson <awilliam(a)redhat.com> Marking as requiring a release note: docs team, the release note here should be broadly what Bruno said in comment #40. If you have a system with a CPU old enough that it doesn't have SSE2 extensions (so, I think, pre-Pentium 4 or pre-Athlon 64) and a graphics card old enough that it is not capable of hardware accelerating Shell (so, Intel older than 9xx, Radeon older than R300 (Radeon 9500), NVIDIA older than NV30 (GeForce FX5xxx)), then you're very likely not to be able to get a working Shell at all. And as Bruno points out, even if it worked, the experience would probably be a bit painful. So we recommend you use another desktop instead; KDE is the most strongly supported, Xfce or MATE would be closest to the GNOME 2 / GNOME 3.6 "fallback" environment.
