1 Hi All,
2 The day before yesterday compiled/booted/worked with this 'new' kernel -
3 gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r10 (after -r9).
4 Changelog only says it's based on 2.6.12.6 and there are two fixed Bugs
5 for AMD-64 & a forcedeth problem (i'm on 32-bits& don't have forcedeth).
6 Went for it cause wanted to try 'vesafb-tng' (splashutils). Works OK.
7 Think the later problems came from the vesafb-tng thing, which replaced
8 my previous 'bootsplash' feature/theme. On first two/three runs it
9 boots/works OK (nice work with that splash-themes).
10 Yesterday the problems began, still while booting, errors appeared while
11 starting 'svscan' (part of daemontools - i run tinydns&qmail) with
12 messages about the filesystem being 'read-only' etc and as it retries to
13 start endlessly things are doomed. Had to use Live-CD to fix the errors.
14 Returned to -r9, disabled 'svscan' on boot - works w/o flaws, later even
15 could start 'svscan' manually.
16 This is just as info and eventually if somebodies have any experiences.
17 Will try -r10 w/o starting 'svscan' & look at the 2.6.12.6-Changelog,
18 but most probably will try out 2.6.13 (in testing or when it comes out).
19 Thank for your time. Rumen
