    The revelation this week seems to be that the livna nvidia rpm broke
    modprobe.conf on a number of installations. Did you have this installed
    by any chance ? The number of 'my initrd broke' bugs that got filed over
    the last month or so has really gone through the roof, and my current
    bet is that this is the cause for the bulk (if not all) of them.

    The kernels that get pushed out to updates do see testing by both
    myself, and users of the updates-testing branch. However, this doesn't
    cover every possible hardware combination out there.

    So the situation is.. not all people don't test the -testing updates,
    and then some folks complain that the updates that go out aren't tested.
    There's really nothing more that I can do to get things tested.
    Some updates even spend quite a while in -testing. (Sometimes,
    I even if they've spent too long in -testing).
