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. -- Neil L. Roeth [EMAIL PROTECTED]
