Yes, indeed. I should use instead: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html >>>From where can I install the kernel for the Wheezy system for this >> hardware? >> >> Is there some dependencies regarding kernel and wheezy GNU system? >> In other words, must I have on this hardware ( Bubba Two is a headless >> server box ) a particular linux image that can work together with the >> rest of the GNU system ( Wheezy )? > > Yes, udev in Wheezy requires a kernel >= 2.6.32 with the accept4(2) > syscall.

Well, I just run 'uname -a' command on that operating system and get: Linux b2 2.6.39.4-4 #1 Fri Aug 19 14:41:59 CEST 2011 ppc GNU/Linux so, I actually run the proper kernel, right? So I think that that I can go with distribution upgrade, right? -- Regards from Pal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
