Those problems were not cnsistent, but included - sometimes the machine crashed without warning - complaints from the backup process that a "file list" was missing - creating space on the LVM for the restored machines but then announcing BOTH in green that the restore had worked AND in red that it failed - on exactly one occasion actually working I am guessing that the critical bug is one that is timing dependent in some way, and in fairness to your testers those are the hardest ones to spot as they depend on the hardware, on the day of the week, and possibly the conjunction of Mercury and Mars... Anyway, after a thorough test of my drive, and on similar symptoms appearing on a second machine, I reverted to rc3 and those problems resolved. Let me know if you would believe it would be useful to add these comments to the -issues facility: I won't unless you ask Warmly R~~ Those problems went away -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

No, it doesn't affect security. It simply crashes (and reboot).

Hi Andrew, I installed 4.0.2 on my Dell Inspiron 5593 without new issues. The answer to the following question seems to have been implied in earlier responses, but I'd just like an explicit clarification: Can the "critical kernel bug" affect my security in any way? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Dear Qubes Community, Shortly after this announcement was originally sent, a bug was discovered in the dom0 kernel included in Qubes 4.0.2: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/5553 Since this bug would present installation problems for the majority of users, we have temporarily removed it from the Downloads page and reinstated the latest release candidate (Qubes 4.0.2-rc3) in its place.
