Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've got a concern with some updates that I need to get done. I'm sorry |
| 4 |
to say I put a few things off a bit too long, and now I'm uncertain as |
| 5 |
to what I should do first, or if it even matters. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Here are the issues: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
1. I'm on an older kernel (gentoo-sources, 2.6.23-r9) |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
For reasons I won't go into now, the boss would rather wait on updating |
| 12 |
this, but he said if we have to, we have to... |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
2. I've currently got the lvm2 update blocker problem due to the |
| 15 |
device-mapper being merged into lvm2. I know how to fix this (according |
| 16 |
to the bug I found): |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
emerge -C device-mapper && emerge -vuDN lvm2 |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
(/ is not on lvm2, but /usr and /var are) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
but... |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
3. For some reason mysql wants to be rebuilt, and when I tried, it |
| 25 |
failed saying that it now requires gcc-4.3.4... |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I had already installed gcc-4.3.4 a while back, but still haven't |
| 28 |
switched to it, so currently everything is compiled with 4.1.2. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
So, what should I do first? Will the new version of lvm2 work ok with |
| 31 |
the older kernel? If so I could switch to gcc-4.3.4, fix/update lvm2, |
| 32 |
then rebuild world, then update the kernel later once the boss is ok |
| 33 |
with it? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Also - when you switch compilers, do you need to reboot right away |
| 36 |
(after rebuilding world (and thus the kernel)? |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Thanks for any suggestions/pointers... :) |
