Arch 0.7-1

Judd advises via flyspray that arch 0.7-1 CD install is required in order that upgrade -Syu to latest kernels will perform correctly.

Edit: ArchCD0.7.1 was specified in flyspray #3191.  My typo.

Re: Arch 0.7-1

I used the 0.7 floppy install. lol Worked fine.

(I did get a message "cp: command not found" when installing filesystem, so I reinstalled that package and rebooted after install just to be on the safe side.)

Re: Arch 0.7-1

What is stated is that if user uses archCD0.7 install for his vanilla kernel-2.6.10 that he cannot -Syu , after the install per the CD, to the new kernels with Udev. The 0.7-1 release will allow the -Syu upgrade.

This probably means, unless otherwise modified, any vanilla kernel whether recently installed or already in service, will fail -Syu( as mine did).

This is the jist of what the note from Judd established.

Does this answer your what?

Edit:  the archCD version mentioned in #3191 flyspray is 0.7.1 not 0.7-1.

Re: Arch 0.7-1

oh yeah, probably because of no devfs support in the kernel, while the install is based around devfs.
Please keep this info here on this thread though smile

Great news. I was wondering whether some sort of temporary fix would be released before 0.8

So will 0.7-1 ship with 2.6.13 by default or an earlier kernel but with udev installed by default?


ARCH 0.7 (2.6.13) & Open SuSE 10.0 :: AMD XP2100+ :: 512 DDR-333 Ram :: 128MB Geforce 6600 (Nvidia 7664) :: 80GB HDD :: SBLive Value

I would imagine so otherwise it would defeat the purpose of even having 0.7-1, kernel 2.6.13 has no devfs support.

When is 0.7.1 out? I need to reinstall soon and have been holding it off in hope it would be released soon.

I *think* Judd wants to release 0.7.1 by the end of the month.
