I'm not sure when you intend to freeze the kernel for F7T2 (perhaps 
today?), but the current kernel -git, along with the existing rawhide 
2930 and 2932 kernels (and maybe the previous one, too), won't boot from 
a VIA SATA 6420, 6421, or 8237A controller.  I'd guess this affects a 
pretty good number F7 testers who use SATA on a VIA chipset motherboard.

A patch to fix the problem was accepted into the libata tree this 
morning, so it should show up in the mainline kernel -git soon.
