Replying to [comment:2 Bryan Kadzban]: > While that may be true, udev-109 (see #1992) logs an error with kernels older than 2.6.21 when it tries to run ata_id on libata disks. (See [http://marc.info/?l=linux-hotplug-devel&m=117768109612881&w=2].) That patch has now been applied (see http://marc.info/?l=linux-hotplug- devel&m=117779861106697&w=2). So, I think it's safe to upgrade the kernel once a new Udev version has been released. Alex, I think it was a coincidence of timing that we ended up releasing LFS-6.2 with what would end up being a long-term maintained kernel. In general, we try to keep up with the latest upstream releases so that if folks need to report bugs they're doing so with against recent sources. The kernel development cycle seems to be tracking regression reports more closely now and feeding patches for them to the stable team (see http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0704.3/2674.html). -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/1993#comment:7> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
