Hi Leann, The patch you said is included upstream was reverted the next day in v2.6.38-rc2, so the reason given for Fix Released status is not applicable.
I don't have permission to revert the status change, so please do that if you agree. $ git describe --contains 6b35eb9ddcddde7b510726de03fae071178f1ec4 v2.6.38-rc2~32^2~1 commit 6b35eb9ddcddde7b510726de03fae071178f1ec4 Author: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Date: Wed Jan 19 10:09:42 2011 +0100 Revert "x86: Make relocatable kernel work with new binutils" This reverts commit 86b1e8dd83cb ("x86: Make relocatable kernel work with new binutils"). Markus Trippelsdorf reported a boot failure caused by this patch. It might be that the issue does not occur with the binutils in Oneiric anyway, as the reverted kernel patch (86b1e8dd83cb) mentions a binutils version range with an upper limit. I have not tried building a kernel with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y on Oneiric to find out. If binutils behaviour was changed a second time, fixing this issue, it might be more helpful to backport the binutils change to Maverick instead of a kernel change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673236 Title: maverick toolchain producing unbootable (hanging) kernels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/673236/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
