Since there seem to be contradictory reports or claims about whether the released version of mysql 5.0 worked with 2.4 kernels, I thought I'd add my experience: it doesn't.
I was running testing with a custom built (the Debian way) 2.4.27 kernel and ran into trouble with a recent upgrade (#420202). I gave stable a high priority, and here's what happened: # apt-get -q install mysql-server-5.0 [...] Preparing to replace mysql-server-5.0 5.0.38-1 (using .../mysql-server-5.0_5.0.32-7etch1_i386.deb) ... Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld. Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld. Unpacking replacement mysql-server-5.0 ... Setting up mysql-server-5.0 (5.0.32-7etch1) ... Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld. Starting MySQL database server: mysqld . . . . . . . . . . . . . . failed! invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed. Yes, I know I need to go to a 2.6 kernel. No, I don't think the package needs to support 2.4 kernels. Ross Boylan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
