+Yes, the update is/was broken and it look like it may have something to
+do with Nvdia cards, or, at least, that's what it looks like. I still
+have a couple of units to update with the new kernel but can't do these
+until a couple of days from now, they both have Nvidia cards in them.
+
+I don't know if the update has been fixed ... maybe a dev could chime in
+at this point to let us know if this has been fixed.
+
+I also help out quite a few Mageia boxes (I volunteer my time) but only
+have 4-5 Mageia2 boxes so far to watch, all the others are still on
+Mageia1 but will all eventually be brought in for servicing. But, I
+haven't heard from the other Mageia2 owners call in with problems yet
+(they probably haven't done their updates, -- they are all mostly seniors).
