[gentoo-user] hardened-sources-2.6.18 booting very slow and no network connection

2007-03-25 Thread Konstantinos Agouros 
Hi,

I have an instance of hardened sources using selinux as a webserver.
2.6.16 is running fine however 2.6.18-r6 boots up, but it's terribly slow
and won't allow any network connection. I compiled the new kernel with
the old .config using make oldconfig and there weren't many new sec-
config options I saw. Has anything changed dramatically in the behaviour
between these two releases?

Regards,

Konstantin

The 2.6.18 kernel was slow for me too (normal gentoo-sources), not 
terribly, but noticeably sluggish.  You might try pushing on to 
2.6.19.  But most probably it's so slow because it is timing out on 
network connections.

Yes, between 2.6.16. and 2.6.17 the netfilter stuff was rearranged, 
you will have to reselect the required parts/modules.
