Thank you Adrian! > (and you didn't give a link, and I won't go hunting for it),
The article I refer to is this: From: Martin Schulze ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Subject: Preparation of Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r3 Newsgroups: linux.debian.announce.devel Date: 2004-03-26 12:50:12 PST You can also read it at: http://groups.google.com/groups?dq=&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&group=linux.debian.announce.devel&safe=off&selm=1E6rf-jw-5%40gated-at.bofh.it (on one line) It is not yet available in the debian-announce archive. The passage I refer to is the following: quote>>> Due to the number of recent kernel vulnerabilities this update will contain several updated kernel packages. This poses a threat to our users since the correction for do brk() (CAN-2003-0961) changes the binary compatibility of the kernel, hence local or vendor-provided modules won't work anymore. As a result i386 kernels cannot be exchanged, but for most other architectures this is possible. <<< /quote So I still wonder if ALL i386 kernels contain such vendor-provided modules. You say compliling everything from source will take care of the binary API mismatch - did I get it right? BR+Tnx!
