linux-2.6.19.2

[Matthew Burgess]

New version. Release announcement at ​http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0611.3/1303.html.

[Thomas]

There is a need to have a look on the headers. I tested this version by simply drop the new version in and failed to compile glibc. There are some symbols missing. I searched a bit and found a patch at ​http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2006-10/msg00024.html. With this, it seems to compile fine now. I applied that patch right after the headers were installed in chap5 as well as in chap6.

[Matthew Burgess]

Yeah, unfortunately that patch isn't what the kernel guys want to see. ​http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2006-12/msg00010.html suggests the patch should actually be made against Glibc's source. We'll see how the Glibc guys respond in due course, I guess.

I'd rather not update now - there is ipv6-related oops (see ​http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/29/335, but the patch from there doesn't work).

[Thomas]

Oh, is that fixed in 2.6.19.1? The headers issue seems to be fixed there (at least the Changelog says it).

[alexander@…]

The changelog mentions both issues. However, I have not tested this kernel yet.

[Matthew Burgess]

Now 2.6.19.2. Release announcement at ​http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0701.1/0930.html.

I am going to rebuild the whole LiveCD with the headers from linux-2.6.19.2. If nothing bad pops up, I'll update LFS.

Sorry, but I have to remove the support for reiser4 and loop-AES from the CD, because there are no versions of these patches compatible with linux-2.6.19.x.

[alexander@…]

I have rebuit the LiveCD successfully with this kernel and its headers. Since the only package on the CD that required patching is reiserfsprogs, I think that the update is safe. On the BLFS side, I will handle the reiserfsprogs changes.

[Matthew Burgess]

Fixed in r7900.
