Excuse me if this sounds rude, but can you be a bit more precise about "Yes, kernel- and user-land want to be in sync.".
I mean, I have read the FAQ, it says -stable userland and packages must run on a -stable kernel... which is what I have now, I am running -stable userland on -stable kernel. But the part I want to fix/clarify here is the process of building the userland. Must -stable userland build by a -stable kernel? I have tried to build -stable userland with a -stable kernel, which crashed the system. The userland has already been build now with a -release kernel; and I have booted the system using -stable kernel, so it is indeed in sync as now. 2007/3/10, STeve Andre' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

You might be running, but you did something wrong, and I haven't the slightest idea if something is going to nip you in the ass later, or not. Yes, kernel- and user-land want to be in sync. That your system froze when using your new kernal says that the kernel wasn't built right. I know its frustrating, but you shoud start the process of building everything again. --STeve Andre'
