I heard of problems with grsecurity and 2.6.29.3, not sure if it's fixed yet (seems like Brad released a new version 3 days ago). 2.6.29.2 works fine for us, get the patch here worst case: ftp://ftp.devil-linux.org/pub/devel/sources/1.3/grsecurity-2.1.14-2.6.29.2-200905040840.patch.bz2 2.6.29 introduces a whole new set of problems, since some of the Kernel include files changed. If you happen to run an app which has issues, most of them have patches now (you may potentially find them in the same ftp folder as mentioned above). Other than that the Kernel seems to be fine. -- Regards Heiko Zuerker http://www.devil-linux.org ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
