[dd_wizard]

Check koji if you want to try it out. It's working fine here.

I installed it. Now I am seeing messages in abrt about a "tainted kernel." I have not installed any new drivers and I am not using proprietary drivers of any kind at the moment, either. I am on a fresh and updated re-install of Fedora 17 after an attempted installation of Rawhide gave me an unbootable system without networking.

That rawhide kernel also threw an error about a tainted kernel, so there is something in common between 3.5.0 and 3.6.0 that causes it.

I am wondering if it has something to do with the bluetooth module. I do not use bluetooth on my computer so I thought it was really odd to see drivers loading for bluetooth while the system was booting up and throwing errors up all over the place.

At least I am not getting kernel panics like I did with 3.6.0 when I installed and tried to run rawhide for a day or so.

Interesting. As far as the 3.5.0 kernel, running a pure vanilla Fedora 17 kernel gives me a Not tainted message.

[root@tower20 /]# dmesg | grep tainted
[46061.712093] Pid: 0, comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 3.5.0-1.fc17.x86_64 #1

You should be getting a message that specifically tells you what module taints the kernel. If a module has a non-GPL license or doesn't specify the license, you will get the kernel taint message.

Do a dmesg | grep taints and see if you can find what module is tainting the kernel.

Well, I am not getting that error now. Of course, I just noticed that I am now at 3.5.0-2 rather than at 3.5.0-1. I have no plans to go back to 3.5.0-1 after experiencing 3.5.0-2. This one is working wonderfully, so far as I can tell. I'm not even getting messages about things being "not tainted." Go figure. :-)

I had several failed attempts with Rawhide and decided to go back to Fedora 17 for now. After the network re-install was finished, I went to the 3.5.0-2 koji page by mistake and installed that kernel. It was not until I visited this page again that I noticed that I had installed the wrong kernel for the purposes of testing.

Sorry about that. With the one I am on now at least it does not throw any errors and I have no report from abrt about it either. Apologies for not being able to do as you asked.

It has hit the updates repos!
Pretty quick again, kudos!

unfortunatelly, today i update the kernel to 3.5 and my gnome-shell is broken. the screen is flickering or is all blank. when it is flickering, i can enter the tty and reboot, but in blank screen, i can do nothing, only hard shutdown.
using the kernel 3.4 the machine works fine.
my hardware is a dell inspirion 1521 with ATI mobility radeon X1270.

[hadrons123]

My dell is working great. No issues with new kernel 3.5.

You can always boot into the older kernel.

It just updated into my 32 bit FC17 pc and the subsequent boot into it produced a message about ICE not being able to get a listening socket, then presented me with a logout 'pop-up'. I click it and then Gnome came up. <???>

I've had one of those as well very rarely, something to do with tmp lock files I believe.

Just updated and about to restart!

Update
Working fine so far.

Looks like it's been yanked from kernel.org.
There is no longer a 3.5.0 there, but there is a 3.6 RC1.

I found this link:

Funny.
I have been waiting for the 3,5 kernel for some fixed in the i915 driver for my home desktop!!

I used to get that until I started deleting all files in my /tmp upon shutdown. Fedora used to do that, then with the switch to systemd, somehow they are no longer clearing /tmp on shutdown.

What happened is if by some chance, Gnome got the same PID as a previous boot, then it would spit out that error since the socket file would already exist.

to fix, I created a script that runs on shutdown and placed it in /usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/

(I called mine cleartmp.sh)

/usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/cleartmp.sh

#!/bin/bash
mount / -orw,remount
rm -Rf /tmp/*
rm -Rf /tmp/.*
mount / -oro,remount

Edit:
Make sure it's set to executable as well. chmod +x /usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/cleartmp.sh

After updating to kernel 3.5.0 booting stops after grub. The last output is: Loading initial ramdisk ...
There is only black screen after this. I do not see any action and I have to make hard restart.
Previous kernel 3.4.6 is working without any problem.

I have notebook HP Compaq 6820s (Intel Core Duo T2410, graphic card ATI Mobility Radeon X1350)

Same problem as Ferry: Boot of kernel 3.5.0-2 stops after message "loading initial ramdisk" and screen goes blank with no hard disk action. Computer responds to ctl-alt-del to restart, and 3.4 kernels boot fine.
