Updating the kernel shouldn't be a major issue and most probably will work
in your favour for stability and processing speed{take that with a pinch of
salt}

Obviously you will have to reboot the server so do it in quite server time
but hopefully you will be in a win win situation.
You may also want to check all your libs are upto date I do know valve
brought in some min reqs a while back but that shouldn't be a problem if the
issue has only just started.-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chuck Gibke Sent: 02 July 2010 03:33 To: [email protected] Subject: [hlds_linux] latest CS:S update - segfaults using ./steam My server runs an old version of Linux - Suse 9.0, kernel v2.4.21, 64 bit mode, circa 2004. The latest HLDS update tool gets the corresponding "steam" program (v39) and it only segfaults. I have been able to run prior to this but have not updated in a while (36 maybe). I tried all the tricks about deleting the blob files in the ~/.steam directory and even the directory itself, but to no avail. Is there a minimum kernel level that the Orange Box version requires to run now? Up to this point, I have really had no reason to update my OS. Besides updating kernel & OS, any other suggestions? .......Chuck [email protected] _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
