Kernel upgrade question
I've got one machine running Debian Sid that has not be upgraded in a
month or so. It's running a custom kernel I built who-knows-when
(2.6.6). Frankly, I can't remember the reason for the custom kernel.
But, I'm a bit concerned because I probably compiled most features
into the kernel and not as modules.
Anyway, the upgrade is asking to upgrade glibc and says:
WARNING: POSIX threads library NPTL requires kernel version
2.6.8 or later. If you use a kernel 2.4, please upgrade it
before installing glibc.
I'm not clear on the image to install. Is linux-image-2.6-k7 a dummy
package for the most recent image (linux-image-2.6.22-2-k7)? So, linux-image-2.6-k7
is the correct kernel?
Here's my modules, cpuinfo, and lspci -- just in case anything jumps
out that might be a problem.
