   8. Up for review today, we have: (tflink, 16:11:24)
   9. 2 Proposed Blockers (tflink, 16:11:31)
   10. 3 Accepted Blockers (tflink, 16:11:31)
   11. 4 Proposed Freeze Exceptions (tflink, 16:11:31)
   12. 12 Accepted Freeze Exceptions (tflink, 16:11:31)
   
   
3. (906031) installation failure: "Error accessing file for config" (tflink, 16:12:06)
   1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=906031 (tflink, 16:12:09)
   2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW (tflink, 16:12:11)
   3. AGREED: 906031 - RejectedBlocker - While this is a nasty bug for the people who hit it, it seems intermittEnt and we have no clue on the root cause. Thus far, trying later or trying with the DVD seem to be acceptable workarounds and thus, this is rejected as a release blocking bug for F19 alpha. (tflink, 16:32:41)
   
   
4. (951761) hangs when loading initramfs on EFI (tflink, 16:33:10)
   1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=951761 (tflink, 16:33:10)
   2. Proposed Blocker, grub2, NEW (tflink, 16:33:10)
   3. AGREED: 951761 - RejectedBlocker - While this is nasty, it doesn't appear to affect many systems and there is no indication of a root cause. Thus, this bug is rejected as a release blocker for F19 alpha (tflink, 16:41:33)
   
   
5. (949786) BootLoaderError: failed to set new efi boot target (tflink, 16:43:14)
   1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=949786 (tflink, 16:43:17)
   2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW (tflink, 16:43:19)
   3. AGREED: 949786 - RejectedBlocker - While nasty, the code involved is sound and we don't want to be making changes here with the little data we have. Thus, this is rejected as a blocker for F19 alpha but it needs to be well documented with ways to work around it if users do end up hitting the bug. (tflink, 17:20:51)
   
   
6. (949761) EFI installed system fails to boot (Fedora-19-Alpha-TC5) (tflink, 17:29:49)
   1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=949761 (tflink, 17:29:52)
   2. Accepted Blocker, grub2, NEW (tflink, 17:29:54)
   3. this has been worked around well enough for alpha - as soon as the anaconda update goes stable, can remove blocker classification from this (tflink, 17:31:12)
   
   
7. (947142) write to /sys/firmware/efi/vars/new_var results in ENOSPC (tflink, 17:33:09)
   1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=947142 (tflink, 17:33:12)
   2. Accepted Blocker, kernel, ON_QA (tflink, 17:33:15)
   3. this bug has an update that needs testing, on track to being closed once that update goes stable (tflink, 17:37:35)
   
   
8. Open Floor (tflink, 17:39:25)
   1. still need testing and karma to get stuff pushed stable (tflink, 17:39:55)
   2. appear to be looking good for alpha (tflink, 17:40:06)
