System was running desktop backport.  Disabled core repos backports and backports_testing, then downgraded versions to updates_testing using urpmi:

$ sudo urpmi --downgrade lib64bpf0 cpupower kernel-userspace-headers kernel-desktop-latest kernel-desktop-devel-latest virtualbox-kernel-desktop-latest

(Had this time to skip downgrade virtualbox-kernel-desktop-latest as virtualbox-kernel-desktop is not yet built.)

(Detail: the "-latest" packages also each downgraded the versions of respective dependency, in total 9 packages got new versions by that urpmi command, and the backport kernel is still installed also.)

No installation issues. rtl8192eu and virtualbox kmods appeared to build successfully. (I got in a short nap during the process.)

After the reboot, ran VirtualBox and updated the kernel in a mga8-64 Plasma guest, also successfully. Ran this and that in the host, including writing this report in Firefox. Looks good on this hardware.

Dell Inspiron 5100, 32-bit P4, Radeon RV200 graphics, ath3k wifi module, mga8-32 Xfce system, using the desktop kernel.

No installation issues. No new regressions seen after the kernel was updated.

I am seeing an issue where drakconf comes up with a blank screen, but I first noticed the issue before updating the kernel, so it is not a new regression. The issue was not there when the last kernel was installed, so most likely is being caused by another update somewhere along the way. I will be opening a separate bug on this issue.

Bug 30332.

This issue appears to be video-related somehow. Switching this hardware and kernel from the "radeon" driver to "vesa" allows drakconf to come up normally.

OK Using the kmods; i ununstalled dkms-virtualbox, and installed virtualbox-kernel-5.15.35-desktop-2.mga8-6.1.34-1.4.mga8.x86_64.rpm

rebooted, and performed same virtualbox tests as i did in comment 4.

@ Herman: probably Bug 29830

@Morgan
I guess so, but it is annoying as I get the same when I disable the QARepo and enable Core Update testing and use MCC - Install software.

@Herman 
I avoid the annoyance by never testing backported kernels and "regular" update kernels on the same install. But you are right, it's not good. And I don't understand why we don't fix it, but then I'm not a developer.


Tested on a Probook 6550b, i3, Intel graphics, Intel wifi, mga8-64 Plasma system. The nonfree firmware updates had already been installed.

No installation issues, and no regressions noted after the reboot.

An update for this issue has been pushed to the Mageia Updates repository.
