To summarize: (1) We have consensus from both OLPC and Quanta that we do NOT put bits on any MP machines that have not gone through our testing regimes. This means that 625 will NOT go on any machines until we have tested it. (2) We have tested 624. (3) OLPC believes that the risk associated

We are putting on three builds tomorrow MP quanta standard test build MP suspend/resume 24 hour test MP ship build (need to de-activate, after allowing activation for above). also 624 and 625 wake up on a network ping - and not 623 - which may be the best candidate for MP ship build. - Mary Lou

Once Richard reports back about whether the DCON workaround succeeded We need to know before that so that we can make a decision with the DCON initialization results - tonight china time at 8PM when we see the results - quanta needs to do testing. We may NOT be able to build tomorrow - they

I've never done a smoke test before. (and that smoke test is for the more recent builds, rather than trial3/MP). Other than having some trouble around activity and library installation, 625 checked out fine. Upgrading from 623-625 indicated just changes in the kernel, so random other stuff did

There shouldn't be any problems if 624 is used for MP. The testing process is there for a reason, and should be strictly followed. The DCON bug that 625 fixes (#4479) will only show up on a small number of machines, and it's frequency is low enough in normal operation of our current software

2007-11-03 Thread Kim Quirk
John, It sounds like you recommend that Quanta put 624 on the laptops at the end of mfg test. Is that true? If so, I would support that decision as well; and we don't need to go through the release testing for 625. Regards, Kim On 11/4/07, John Watlington [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There

Quanta wants assurance that the software workaround which was broken in #4479 is fixed. Richard's testing is necessary to confirm this. It is also essential that the kernel fix which is theoretically the only difference between 624 and 625 be part of the production test code to further
