Hi,
That's because the rawhide kernel you have installed is a 'release' kernel. The kernel before that (3.5.0-0.rc0.git12 or something) is a debug kernel and will have UAS enabled. The next git snapshot of 3.5.0-rc1 will also have it enabled.
Well, next is kernel-3.5.0-0.rc2.git0.1.fc18 which has UAS disabled too. /me goes fetch 3.5.0-0.rc0.git12 now ...
Oops. Yes, sorry. Still at the "one per RC" since nobody did a git snapshot build after rc1.
We build one non-debug kernel in rawhide per RC release. You just happened to hit it.
That scheme sucks big time. Why flip config options like that?
Because people complained loudly that the normal debug rawhide kernels were too slow.
We have kernel-debug, why not enable options like UAS which are too buggy for the default kernel there? Permanently?
That's a possibility, yes.
