Systemd-210 & minimum kernel version increased

Hi,

I am running an old laptop with an old kernel, version 3.3.8 (because wifi won't work in newer Arch kernels, but this is altogether another story). Today I upgraded systemd from 208 to 210, and afterwards it failed to mount my partitions. After some googling I found out that this was caused by the kernel option CONFIG_FHANDLE, which appears to be not set for kernel 3.3.8 (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75512).

This leads me to the conclusion that the minimum kernel version has been increased, from version 2.6.32 (see https://www.archlinux.org/news/minimum- … ent-2632/) to an unknown version that is newer than 3.3.8.

Is my analysis right, or am I missing something here?

Re: Systemd-210 & minimum kernel version increased

FHANDLE has been in the kernel since 2.6.39. So if you want to use kernel 3.3.8, just recompile it with FHANDLE set.

Though I'd say you're tackling this from the wrong end. You should instead focus on your wireless problem and get that fixed, kernel 3.3 isn't supported anymore.

Thanks anadyr! I have had the same problem with no partitions being mounted. Rebuildung the kernel with CONFIG_FHANDLE solved it.
