I don't remember which version of LFS transitioned from 2.4. to 2.6. > Back in the day, some of us went from 2.4 to 2.6 without too much difficulty. ISTR that there was a switch required in module-init-tools to provide compatability with modutils. Those were probably the days when we had a separate mailing list for bleeding-edge development (I've forgotten the name of it, and since the archives are inaccessible it doesn't really make a lot of odds) and its probable we sorted out the details there, by trial and error.
But in 2013, anyone starting from a 2.4 kernel will find that using a newer host distro is going to be a much better way forward - almost everything in a system with a 2.4 kernel will now be out of date, and inadequate for building current kernels (e.g. gcc too old), let alone current LFS systems. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
