Nope. It was intended, planned, tested and announced before:

You still have the 2.6.38.8 kernel installed so you can boot it if 3.0
does not work.

Have you filed bugreports here or upstream ?

</I>><i> but I suppose there won't be any update to the 2.6.38.8 kernel, right?

Nope.

Well it works here. (and for many other Cauldron users).
and both i586 and x86_64 kernels were tested on a i7-860 workstation and
on a Acer TravelMate 5720 laptop before submitting to the buildsystem...
><i> forcing an rc-something as the current kernel is... unbenevolent

</I>><i>
</I>
There is no forcing...
the old kernel is still installed so you can use it if you need.
And if you dont like automatic kernel upgrades, uninstall kernel-*-latest
><i> yeah, I know, fedora rawhide and kubuntu 11.10 also have this
</I>><i> 3.0.0-rc7-crap sort of thing. so you can't have the latest packages
</I>><i> (including the latest kde) w/o having a broken kernel. sigh.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> but my message stands. tmb, I hate you for pushing this kernel as a
</I>><i> forced update via kernel-desktop-latest.
</I>><i>
</I>
Thanks
its always good to know my work is appreciated...
