Meeting summary
---------------
* (807510) fail to boot from the IBM serverRAID  (tflink, 23:11:32)
  * LINK: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807510   (tflink,
    23:11:32)
  * Proposed Blocker, MODIFIED  (tflink, 23:11:32)
  * AGREED: - 807510 - RejectedBlocker AcceptedNTH - After farther
    investigation, this is only going to affect a relatively small
    subset of installs and could be fixed by an update  (tflink,
    23:18:26)

* (807982) anaconda can not load an updates.img from removable media
  (tflink, 23:18:35)
  * LINK: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807982   (tflink,
    23:18:39)
  * Proposed Blocker, NEW  (tflink, 23:18:41)
  * AGREED: - Adjust Fedora 17 release criteria to require updates.img
    delivery methods other than http/ftp to work at Final stage rather
    than Beta stage  (adamw, 23:26:34)
  * AGREED: #807982 is rejected as a blocker under the pending modified
    criterion, accepted as NTH as it clearly can't be fixed with an
    update  (adamw, 23:28:20)

* (809342) anaconda tries to install grub on wrong device  (tflink,
  23:28:32)
  * LINK: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809342   (tflink,
    23:28:32)
  * Proposed Blocker, NEW  (tflink, 23:28:33)
  * AGREED: - 809342 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the F17 beta criterion
    "The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade
    installation from a clean, fully updated default installation (from
    any official install medium) of the previous stable Fedora release,
    either via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually. The
    upgraded system must meet all release criteria"  (tflink, 23:33:18)

* (809647) sourcing updates.img from installation repository does not
  work  (tflink, 23:33:30)
  * LINK: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809647   (tflink,
    23:33:33)
  * Proposed Blocker, NEW  (tflink, 23:33:35)
  * AGREED: - 809647 - RejectedBlocker AcceptedNTH - Due to the recently
    altered F17 beta release criteria, this is no longer a blocker but
    can't be fixed with an update; therefore accepted NTH and reproposed
    as a final blocker  (tflink, 23:35:29)

* (791130) segfault in _clutter_actor_finish_queue_redraw  (tflink,
  23:35:54)
  * LINK: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=791130   (tflink,
    23:35:54)
  * Proposed Blocker, NEW  (tflink, 23:35:54)
  * LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=791130#c49
    (adamw, 23:38:12)
  * AGREED: - 791130 - RejectedBlocker - The consequences and frequency
    of this crash were judged to not be severe enough to warrant blocker
    status for beta  (tflink, 23:42:47)

* (808152) Xorg can't use basic framebuffer (/dev/fb0) driver.  (tflink,
  23:42:58)
  * LINK: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808152   (tflink,
    23:42:58)
  * Proposed Blocker, NEW  (tflink, 23:42:58)
  * AGREED: - 808152 - RejectedBlocker - This is a corner case with xen
    and was judged to be too specific to accept as a blocker for F17
    beta  (tflink, 23:47:12)

* (804913) Fresh Install fails to boot (no init)  (tflink, 23:53:50)
  * LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804913   (tflink,
    23:53:50)
  * Proposed NTH, POST  (tflink, 23:53:50)
  * bz806593 is already acceptedNTH and has the same fix, skipping
    (tflink, 23:56:31)

* (808378) GNOME 3.4.0 as NTH for F17 Beta  (tflink, 00:02:21)
  * LINK: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808378   (tflink,
    00:02:21)
  * Accepted NTH, NEW  (tflink, 00:02:22)
  * ACTION: tflink to build pre-RC3 test DVD with GNOME 3.4  (tflink,
    00:07:15)

* (808029) kickstart cannot be mounted on hard drive  (tflink, 00:14:20)
  * LINK: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808029   (tflink,
    00:14:20)
  * Accepted Blocker, NEW  (tflink, 00:14:20)
  * AGREED: - 808029 - RejectedBlocker - After investigation, we have
    been unable to reproduce this bug and the reporter has made no
    comments regarding farther reproduction - judged to no longer be
    serious enough to stay a blocker  (tflink, 00:18:28)

* (745202) gnome-shell does not display correctly with NV3x adapters -
  multicolor corruption of panel, Shell-style menus and text [nvfx]
  (tflink, 00:19:06)
  * LINK: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=745202   (tflink,
    00:19:09)
  * Accepted Blocker, NEW  (tflink, 00:19:12)
  * AGREED: - 745202 - RejectedBlocker - While this bug has not yet been
    properly fixed, the blacklist has addressed the problem of
    non-functional installs enough for beta  (tflink, 00:23:28)

* open floor  (tflink, 00:23:48)

Meeting ended at 00:28:28 UTC.
