Bug#419249: linux-image-2.6.18-4-alpha-smp: epoll always returns ENOSYS
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-alpha-smp
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11
Severity: normal
I recently installed squid, and noticed that it was complaining:
comm_select_init: epoll_create(): (78) Function not implemented
It seems epoll_*() always return ENOSYS on alpha; more details can
be found in this Gentoo bug and l-k thread:
