Package: kernel-patch-lpp
Version: 0.4.0-2
Severity: normal
I compiled the kernel, using the kernel-source-2.4.18 package, with the
kernel-patch-lpp patch applied. I also applied the
kernel-patch-preempt-2.4 patch, as well as the crypto patch from
kerneli.org. As described in the README.Debian, I copied the contributed
rc and rcS shell scripts into /etc/init.d after making backups.
I use xdm to manage X sessions. Prior to using the LPP, xdm would start
automatically after bootup. Subsequently, xdm will not start if LPP is
used. That is, if the `append="console=/dev/tty2 CONSOLE=/dev/tty2"'
and `vga=0x301' lines are omitted (commented out) in /etc/lilo.conf,
thereby disabling the graphical boot screen, then xdm /will/ start, even
though I am still using the contributed rc and rcS scripts. However,
if the graphical boot screen is enabled, using the /same/ rc and rcS
scripts, xdm will /not/ start. It will start manually, however; if I
login as root and run `/etc/init.d/xdm start' then xdm will start
normally.
