I upgraded my Sony Vaio 505VE from slink to potato, and then upgraded
the kernel from 2.0.38 to 2.2.17. Using potato with 2.0.38 is no
problem, but with 2.2.17 there are a couple of problems, perhaps
related.
syslog gives me an error at bootup. I can reproduce the error by
executing /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart later. The error is:
syslogd: cannot create /dev/log: Invalid argument
X problem - the server does not start - I eventually kill it with
Ctl-Alt-Backspace and see the following:
_X11TransSocketOpen: socket() failed for local
_X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient: Unable to open socket for local
_X11TransOpen: transport open failed for local/vaio:0
The above three lines are repeated many times. The hostname of the
machine is vaio.
The reason I think they might be related is that both are problems
opening sockets. Has anyone seen one or both of these problems? I
can provide more detail if necessary. TIA.
