<PRE>tmb, I hate you.
making kernel-desktop-latest to point to kernel-desktop-3.0.0-0.rc7.2.1.mga2 instead of kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.38.8-5.mga2 was a big mistake.
there should have been something like kernel-desktop-latest3 for a while, to let people test that 3.0 thing (rc, right? I know this is cauldron, but I'd still prefer a kernel that works) while still having a 2.6 kernel.
this 3.0 kernel is a piece of crap. my acer laptop behaves hectically (now I have a mouse, now it's frozen, now the system claims it will reboot, now I have to press the power button for 5 seconds to shutdown it), bcm4311 doesn't work even with the correct firmware in /lib/firmware/b43, a fully-fledged pita.
reverting to 2.6.38.8-5 brought back the joy (and the wireless internet).
but I suppose there won't be any update to the 2.6.38.8 kernel, right? even for an unstable thing like cauldron this is rather wrong, because 3.0.0 is not a released kernel as of yet. and a working kernel is a precondition to a working distro.
forcing an rc-something as the current kernel is... unbenevolent dictatorship.
yeah, I know, fedora rawhide and kubuntu 11.10 also have this 3.0.0-rc7-crap sort of thing. so you can't have the latest packages (including the latest kde) w/o having a broken kernel. sigh.
but my message stands. tmb, I hate you for pushing this kernel as a forced update via kernel-desktop-latest.
