Tested on Hyper-v, all booted ok, seems Hyper-V dynamic memory is failing.
dmesg shows "hv_balloon: Memory hot add failed"

Bumping priority as CVE-2014-3153 is now being suggested to be the worst kernel securit issue in ~5 years and actually dropped out of embargo too soon :/

Priority: Normal => High
Severity: normal => critical

64b, full intel laptop + broadcom wifi, everything is ok.

Tested on 3 different systems (mix of 32 & 64bit nvidia and intel) with all the kmods installed and all seems ok.

ran 'perf bench all' and 'service cpupower status' on each

Would benefit from fglrx tests and older nvidia.

Tested mga4-64 with dkms nvida-304 and virtualbox.

all dkms built normally in both server and desktop, boot and general use all OK.

tested mga4-32 as in comment 10.

same result.  All good here.

tested on mga4-32 and everything looks good. Will test on HyperV tomorrow if I get a chance.

Tested 64bits LiveDVD Gnome, one on a system with intel graphics, the other on a NVidia system (NVIDIA GeForce 8100 to GeForce 360, card: GeForce GTX 260)

everything looks and works as expected

old ThinkPad R50e, tested the 32bits updates:

cpupower                       3.12.21      2.mga4        i586

kernel-desktop586-latest       3.12.21      2.mga4        i586

After reboot and selecting this install in the GRUB2 menu, the system seems to freeze, after hitting alt+SysRq+(sequence: r-s-e) it continues and reaches the KDM menu.

Everything works as expected.

There is no output for journalctl -b and journalctl -a has only lines about three days in February.... maybe something was already very wrong with this system, without me noticing it :-/

If i didn't misread my grub2/grubcfg then I booted with the desktop586 kernel now. I'll reboot and try the kernel-desktop

now booted with kernel-desktop-3.12.21-2.mga4-1-1.mga4.i586.rpm
(the first boot was indeed with kernel-desktop586-3.12.21-2.mga4-1-1.mga4.i586.rpm)

the seeming freeze I reported above occurred again, but is caused by a USB key that the system tries to mount while it isn't available (sorry about that)
journalctl -b works now, and so does journalctl -f, but journalctl -a still only knows those 3 days in February

Otherwise, everything is fine

MGA4 64-bit trying both

 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Wrestler  Radeon HD 7310]
falls on stony ground similarly for both kernels.
The boot sequence reverts quickly to console mode, saying you will be given a command prompt to login & run drakx11, then systemctl default to resume with a working graphical system. Press any key to continue... goes round this loop twice before giving a command prompt. Login as root, drakx11 brings up a correct looking pre-configured character dialogue. Exit returns to command prompt, and systemctl (or startx) re-starts the orginal boot failure sequence.

No good for my box.

Did you install the nonfree fglrx drivers as referenced in:

No! Will do. Thanks. But should this be mentioned in the advisory when that arrives?

Nope, no need... they will be pushed at the same time, so they will get auto-upgraded then...

for testing fglrx at the same time:

if you install  kernel-desktop-latest-3.12.21-2.mga4, you need to install fglrx-kernel-desktop-latest-14.010.1006-1.mga4 and x11-driver-video-fglrx-14.010.1006-1.mga4 too to get the upgrade

and substitute desktop for desktop586 or server depending of what you want to test

Did this, and (foolishly without noting what happened on the way) ended up with a working system: 3.12.21-desktop-2.mga4

I found all this utterly confusing. But for what it is worth...
MGA4 64-bit real hardware with AMD Radeon HD7310 graphics OK.

Will try the server similarly.

Yes, it's very hard to keep track of what you are doing.
I keep a text file on the side with the steps and ultimately
what I post in the bug. And I still get confused.

I'll spin up another HD with M4 i586 later today.

At last - & what a palaver...

MGA4 64-bit real hardware AMD/Radeon HD7310 graphics OK Desktop & Server kernels.

Tested OK for Desktop (omitted from comment 23).

Now tested Server to working desktop OK. Installing fglrx-kernel-server-latest via urpmi caused a DKMS compilation (I think). Selecting that kernel on re-boot finally works normally:
$ uname -r
3.12.21-server-2.mga4
$ rpm -qa | grep kernel-server
kernel-server-3.12.21-2.mga4-1-1.mga4
fglrx-kernel-server-latest-14.010.1006-2.mga4.nonfree
kernel-server-latest-3.12.21-2.mga4
$ rpm -qa | grep fglrx
fglrx-kernel-desktop-latest-14.010.1006-2.mga4.nonfree

Please see the sound issue in Bug 13487.  I get that same issue with this update candidate (i586 kernel-desktop) when running it on a Mageia 3 system.

To trigger it, su to root in a terminal window, then try to play audio as your regular user.

or even while audio is playing. I found that sound stopped instantly when 'su -' to root as soon as the password was entered, David found he lost it at the end of the currently playing track.
