Rawhide-20170125.n.0: My son, my son, what have you done?!

[GERHARD GOETZHABER]

A two months ago I had to interrupt using Fedora at all because 
coincidentally with the introduction of kernel 4.9 not only Rawhide but 
even fc25 (Why not having at least continued operating THAT edition on 
4.8?) hadn't any more got together with KDE. Recently I said to me well, 
give it another chance. So I installed Rawhide with Xfce, this indeed 
having been working prettily - till yesterday's update: "Ooops!" after 
reboot again and again, endlessly filling the whole screen but without 
any declared reason!

PLEASE, can't you only make it work well on Xfce?

Desperately hopeful for next updates, and be the Ancients with Ye,

Gary

Yep, Rawhide is pretty broken ATM. openQA has been catching several
bugs. Having said that, if what you're seeing is a bunch of kernel OOPS
on startup, that sounds like something hardware specific as openQA
(which tests on VMs) isn't running into that specific problem. Could
you possibly capture the oops somehow and file a bug against the
kernel? Thanks!

Note, the policy for updating the kernel in stable releases (and the
reason we do it) is explained at:

Because the 4.8 series is end of life.  And you can still boot the old
kernels if you want.  In fact, even on rawhide you should be able to
grab some pretty old kernel packages and boot them.
