Hi, everyone. We're looking at pulling kernel-2.6.33.1-24.fc13 into Fedora 13 Beta, quite late, because current Beta candidate builds include kernel-2.6.33.1-19.fc13 which is known to include a severe bug that breaks boot on systems with Broadcom wired ethernet adapters supported by the b44 module.
However, -24 has other changes from -19, including to the nouveau (NVIDIA graphics) and iwlwifi (Intel wifi) drivers. We really need as many people as possible to test kernel -24, which you can get at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=164598 , and confirm that it works okay on your systems.
To install it, use 'rpm -ivh' for the kernel and -devel packages. If you have kernel-headers installed, 'rpm -Uvh' that first. Then reboot to the kernel and check that it boots up okay. Please reply to this thread with your results. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for their testing, it's greatly appreciated. Based on the positive response here and on forums, we spun a new RC of the beta with the -24 kernel included, so now if you still want to help testing, please test that.
