Re: Linux 2.6.30.2: does not boot

I guess this could be beginning to get off-topic on lkml.

Anyway, for what it’s worth…

Exactly the same than me.

I compiled 2.6.30.1 some days ago:

I’m suspecting libc6 (it got upgraded this month a couple of times, now
it’s at version 2.9-21).

However, I’m not daring to downgrade it, I don’t have a box handy that I
can afford to break right now.
