Sirs:
I have been seeing a lot of weird things happening lately, I mean, after the 500-more package update.
After the last updates a Centos 6.3 32-bit virtual machine running under virtual box 4.2.8 does not boot anymore.
I have just updated my workstation to "Linux version 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64 (mockbuild@c6b8.bsys.dev.centos.org) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Wed Mar 13 00:26:49 UTC 2013" and it unexpectedly locked when I started Thunderbird (there was a VM running under Virtualbox when I did it). CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE apparently completed the "locking job".
Are you noticing that too?
Thanks,
Alberto Sentieri

hi,
At the moment, we run tests on a nightly basis, only in kvm vm's and the results dont go very far. I'd like to propose we use the entire QA bladecenter and run the entire compliment of deploys and tests, then post them in a status board which has some history ( stashboard ? )
Going one step further, we should run the entire t_functional tests as well as start incorporating some of the, now stale, t_external tests.
At the moment we do deploys over http and nfs, to local and remote storage, under Xen, KVM, bare-metal and some virtualbox and some vmware hypervisors, for i386 and x86_64.
I had a brief chat with Fabian about this yesterday, and we both think its doable, in the short term. Anyone else have thoughts about this ? or want to propose reporting mechanisms that might be better in line with the intended result : to give people a single perspective on the state of things, as a confidence point. And also to allow people to easily add tests that are then run nightly, so they can address their own corner cases.
