[WBEL-users] X windows stops working after kernel recompile

[Poe Chen]

Thanks Ed for your reply.  I think I've found the cause of this error.

The problem is the nptl patch of RedHat kernel.  The vanilla 2.4 kernel
doesn't have nptl patch, and applications crash with it.

The only main reason I want to use kernel 2.4 is to add OpenSWAN 1.0.3
patch.

So here are my questions:

-Any quick fix for this nptl problem?  I tried
"export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.26" but the applications still crash.

-Any 2.4 nptl patch I can use?  It looks like I need to use 2.6 kernel
instead of 2.4 because RedHat backports the nptl.

Thanks a lot,



Poe
