Hi
In LFS-SVN-20061029, Chapter 3.2 there's a note reading:
The Linux kernel is updated relatively often, many times due to
discoveries of security vulnerabilities. The latest available 2.6.17.x
kernel version should be used, unless the errata page says otherwise.
Do not use version 2.6.18 or later kernels due to potential
incompatibilites with the bootscripts.
This is right below the download link to kernel 2.6.18.1.
I assume the note is outdated and should be changed or removed, right?
Thanks. We should be using the version numbers from packages.ent,
rather than a hard-coded value. Unfortunately they were structured in
such a way as to make using them in this context awkward. I've rejigged
things a bit and committed a fix in r7852. I thought it was safe to
remove the warnings about incompatibilities with the bootscripts as I
think this was really to do with the udev related issues with 2.6.18.
If anyone thinks the warning is still relevant, give me a shout and I'll
put it back in.
Regards,
Matt.
