I localized the bug. The bug is definitely related to |
23 |
xfs-sources-2.4.24-r1, using xfs-sources-2.4.24(-r0) doesn't cause any |
24 |
errors. We could now easily say "Ok, let's stay with -r0 then". But then |
25 |
we would lose lvm2-support (device-mapper & co.). |
26 |
|
27 |
I am requesting suggestions on what to do now. IMHO we should use |
28 |
2.4.24-xfs-r0 for the livecd instead of trying to fix the r1-kernel or |
29 |
choosing an alternative kernel (i.e. a kernel that at least can do what |
30 |
the current is capable of). |
