I'm not sure when you intend to freeze the kernel for F7T2 (perhaps
today?), but the current kernel -git, along with the existing rawhide
2930 and 2932 kernels (and maybe the previous one, too), won't boot from
a VIA SATA 6420, 6421, or 8237A controller. I'd guess this affects a
pretty good number F7 testers who use SATA on a VIA chipset motherboard.
A patch to fix the problem was accepted into the libata tree this
morning, so it should show up in the mainline kernel -git soon.
kernel-2.6.20-1.2932 is fairly explodey in general - it BUGs in
ahci_init on my ICH6 SATA machine. We won't be releasing with this one.
