I installed many new packages on an LFS-6.1.1 (with errata) about a year ago. This, I believe, has glibc-2.3.4. I also installed kernel 2.6.29 earlier this year (I think). When I do an upgrade I always make a copy of the OS before I start, and more copies as I upgrade, or add, new packages. Anyway, to follow on from what Ken said, the udev upgrade went smoothly with the latest version current at that time. Also, it appeared to run OK with kernel 2.6.29 (although I seem to remember an AES encryption fail warning on boot). I did, however, spend hours on the kernel configuration running through the config file afresh from start to finish, but I really think that this is worth doing. Also, I always compile everything into the kernel rather than load modules. Sorry if this isn't much help but I'm just trying to offer some encouragement as my heavily upgraded and expanded LFS-6.1.1 was a success and was running very smoothly the last time I booted it. So you should be OK. Richard
