udev 146 upgrade

[Crispy Beef]

I'm sure others have experienced the recent issues surrounding a udev upgrade to v146 and above? I keep getting the following error messages when the package tries to configure itself...

Code: Select all

Preparing to replace udev 0.141-2 (using .../udev_146-5_powerpc.deb) ...
Since release 146, udev requires support for the following features in
the running kernel:

- inotify(2)       (CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER)
- signalfd(2)      (CONFIG_SIGNALFD)

Please upgrade your kernel before or while upgrading udev.

Ok, so compiling a kernel is no problem, but before I did I checked the config that was installed with the latest kernel on my system. It reports that both of those options should already be switched on.

Code: Select all

g5:~# grep "INOTIFY" /boot/config-2.6.30-2-powerpc64
CONFIG_INOTIFY=y
CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y

g5:~# grep "SIGNALFD" /boot/config-2.6.30-2-powerpc64
CONFIG_SIGNALFD=y

My reported kernel version is as follows:

Code: Select all

g5:~# uname -a
Linux g5 2.6.30-2-powerpc64 #1 SMP Sun Oct 4 09:29:28 UTC 2009 ppc64 GNU/Linux

So I guess my questions are these. Even though the config reports that these options are switched on are they really? And is there a way to tell by checking /proc or somewhere else for the running kernel?

If the options as suggested are actually on, is udev broken or am I missing something else? As you can see I'm on a PowerPC G5 and running squeeze.

Same problem here. Both options are activated in an 2.6.32.3 self compiled kernel. Seems that some check is done but not explained in the error info.

If anybody has same problem with udev 150 update was solved disabling CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 (and CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED) in .config.

No problems with udev here, but I have been running the 2.6.32 kernel since it came out.
$ apt-cache policy udev
