Comment 1 Len Lawrence 2019-07-05 18:47:11 CEST 
mga7, x86_64

The four updates installed cleanly and reboot was uneventful.  Ran some stress tests.  Desktop functions.
Good for 64 bits on Skylake/nvidia.

CC: (none) => tarazed25

Comment 2 Thomas Backlund 2019-07-05 18:59:48 CEST 
And I use the iwlwifi-firmware for Intel Wireless-AC 9260
Comment 3 Thomas Backlund 2019-07-09 18:42:29 CEST 
I updated this to kernel-firmware-nonfree-20190709-1.mga7

But no need to re-test... it only adds Intel i915 GuC firmware that is not used at all by 5.1 series kernel, it will be used with upcoming 5.3 series kernels (and maybe 5.2.x if it passes upstream QA / considered important enough)

So just to be prepared "just in case" we ship it right now

Comment 5 Rémi Verschelde 2019-07-10 12:17:56 CEST 
Tested OK on Mageia 7 x86_64, with Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 and Nvidia GK104M [GeForce GTX 670MX] (none seem to have changes in this update, but no regressions were noted).
Comment 6 Olivier le Roy 2019-07-10 22:03:12 CEST 
After upgrading to Mageia 7, I was missing /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43602-pcie.bin

(for Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC (rev 01))

To temporarily fix the issue, I downloaded the firmware on https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/brcm/

Anyway, the upgrade to 7 went smooth on my Dell XPS 15 9550 Notebook, with encrypted partition on nvme ssd.

on mga7-64  plasma  kernel-desktop-5.1.14

packages installed cleanly:
- iwlwifi-firmware-20190628-1.mga7.nonfree.noarch
- kernel-firmware-nonfree-20190628-1.mga7.nonfree.noarch
- ralink-firmware-20190628-1.mga7.nonfree.noarch
- rtlwifi-firmware-20190628-1.mga7.nonfree.noarch

no regressions observed - I don't have wifi on this system 
looks OK for mga7-64 on this system:

Card: Intel HD Graphics 530
CPU: Quad core Intel Core i7-6700 (-HT-MCP-)
