Slackware 13.37

"Use a menu rather than an inputbox to choose Linux partitions in expert mode."

Very slight change.... but I like it.

I've just had an awful thought. Pat releases the new Slackware on April the 1st and calls it Slackware 13.2. Then laughs at us all for being so excited over 13.37 and pi to n places.

If I was Pat, I would do that...or if Pat was me, he would.

Subgenii have a weird sense of humour...

I was wondering whether the joke would get 'old' by the time the final release came out. Still half expecting to see a 14.0 designation on the release.

Not sure if this can be considered as a axiom, but after I refill my credit card anytime soon, I will check

Yeah and I am almost certain, that 14.0 will also be released someday, somemonth, someyear...

Nice almost subliminal signature.

Thanks. I was wondering how many people had noticed it.

I just upgrade to 13.37 and I found that X server cannot start anymore.
Then I remembered that I compiled some kernel modules and obviously I've had to recompile them for the new kernel.
Solved

Just to be prudent I made snapshots of the entire boot and root partitions with System Rescue CD.

Can jfsutils-1.1.15 make it into the RC?

ponce · 03-29-2011, 12:19 PM

sorry fellas, anybody got this problem with the new mkinitrd and the generic kernel?

Alien Bob · 03-29-2011, 12:37 PM

Yes, it is a bug in the latest mkinitrd script and has been fixed already in our private branch. Will be fixed with the next set of public updates.

In the meantime, get http://slackware.com/~alien/mkinitrd if you can't wait and need it fixed now.

thanks a lot Eric, I already had downgraded to -8 to fix it, but now I also tried the new one and it's all ok

Nice to be wearing my tin foil hat.

The changelog page is not accessible for me - preparing for yet another batch of goodies or have we reached the destination?
