The preliminary draft was rejected by 105 the kernel maintainers and it's fundamentally incompatible with 106 the packages we will built for LFS. Such <quote>old-world</quote> 107 distributions (for example, Loongnix) cannot be used as a host 108 distro for building LFS. 109 </para> 110 111 <para> 112 Do not attempt to update the kernel to &min-kernel; or later on 113 a old-world distro because doing so will cause a boot failure. 114 Use a <quote>new-world</quote> distribution providing Linux Kernel 115 &min-kernel; or newer instead. You may need to contact the vendor 116 of your hardware to get a firmware update for booting a new-world 117 distribution because the boot protocol of LoongArch is stabilized 118 after the launch of the early LoongArch hardwares. 119 </para> 120 </important> 96 <xref linkend="chapter-building-system"/>, so the workarounds for 97 older kernels are not enabled and the compiled 98 <application>glibc</application> is slightly faster and smaller. 99 As at June 2023, &min-kernel; is the oldest kernel release still 100 supported by the kernel developers.</para> 101 102 <para>If the host kernel is earlier than &min-kernel; you will need to replace 103 the kernel with a more up-to-date version. There are two ways 104 you can go about this. First, see if your Linux vendor provides a &min-kernel; 105 or later kernel package. If so, you may wish to install it. If your 106 vendor doesn't offer an acceptable kernel package, or you would prefer not to 107 install it, you can compile a kernel yourself.

To 16 build a system that utilizes one of these alternative CPUs, the main prerequisite, in 19 17 addition to those on the next page, is an existing Linux system such as an 20 earlier LFS installation, Loong Arch Linux, CLFS for LoongArch, Gentoo, 21 Slackware, or other distribution that targets LoongArch.</para> 18 earlier LFS installation, Ubuntu, Red Hat/Fedora, SuSE, or some other distribution 19 that targets that architecture.
