I vaguely remembered the lfs post, but it did not show up for me in my first set of google results (or if it did, it was not near the top). > > Unlike you I build with the normal host kernel, which is 3.19 in this case. > I've diffed it with the corresponding kernel from Anduin (not the one in > Bruce's link, which is the later version) and I'm attaching the result to > this post. I hope your majordomo honours attachments. > > Hazel One of the things I've always done is try newer kernels - fortunately, my altered .config for 4.2 now no longer forces everything onto the first CPU (that caught someone else this past week - I hit it weeks ago in an early -rc :) Of course, the downside of testing development kernels is that I end up having to bisect - usually at a most inconvenient time. If I read correctly, you have CONFIG_FHANDLE set - is this a systemd build ? Nothing else jumps out, and I cannot see why that setting itself would be a problem. ĸen -- Il Porcupino Nil Sodomy Est!
