RE: 2.6 kernel issues



Hi,

No, no 2.6 kernels work and no 2.4 kernel past 2.4.27 works as a bug was introduced into the megaraid driver about then....its never been solved. The reply I have is no developer has the hardware and they say its too old to bother with.

regards

Steven

Does any 2.6 kernel work for you?  If so, simply continue using the Etch kernel package until you can get one that works for you into a Lenny update (by filing a bug and helping the maintainers and developers).  The 2.6 Etch kernel will run any software allowed into Lenny (to allow Etch -> Lenny upgrades during Etch's continued security support.)

If no 2.6 kernel works for you, you will not be able to use Lenny.  (But, you should still take it up with the kernel developers.)
