Personally I don't know enough about which crusty old 2.6 kernels people are still using out there, so I figured 2.6.0 was the safest bet. A trawl of the OE history turns up these two: ----------------------------------- commit 8b0202e6e3f90a772df301e8522f9deb03e50132 Author: Tom Rini <[email protected]> Date: Wed Mar 3 12:17:38 2010 -0700 glibc*.inc: Bump OLDEST_KERNEL to 2.6.16 Per glibc's ChangeLog, 2.6.16 is the minimum required by at least glibc 2.9 Prior to this, it was a murky 2.6.14 + patches to 2.6.16 (when it was all upstream). ----------------------------------- commit 794e8652f5c4fef71a8b9ab834b39f75b99f9420 Author: Koen Kooi <[email protected]> Date: Thu May 21 20:30:37 2009 +0200 Angstrom 2009.X: set OLDEST_KERNEL to 2.6.16 to avoid problems with ppoll() ----------------------------------- Any further comments/info? Should we be using 2.6.16 in oe-core as well?
