Installation of Archboot: cannot resolve "kernel26-lts"

Hi,

I'm trying to install the latest Archboot.  My existing host is using kernel 3.1.9-2 but Archboot seems to need kernel26.  When I try to install it with pacman, it says:

warning: cannot resolve "kernel26-lts>=2.6.32.46-1", a dependency of "archboot"
warning: cannot resolve "kerenl26-lts>=2.6.32", a dependency of "noveau-drm-lts"
warning: cannot resolve "kernel26-lts<2.6.33", a dependency of "nouveau-drm-lts"

Do I really need to install kernel26 items?  I'm hesitant because I really like the nice minimal system I have at the moment.

tia!

Re: Installation of Archboot: cannot resolve "kernel26-lts"

kernel26-lts has been renamed to linux-lts when Linux 3.0 became LTS, so your ArchBoot must be out of date...

In fact "pacman -Si archboot | grep kernel" returns nothing.

However:

$ pacman -Si nouveau-drm-lts | grep kernel
Depends On     : kernel26-lts>=2.6.32  kernel26-lts<2.6.33

This package is orphan, which must be the reason why it's not up to date.

I suppose you could use abs to rebuild nouveau-drm-lts against kernel 3.0... Maybe .

Are you sure you're using this archboot: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=134553 ?
