Is there no resolution? Is nobody taking ownership of this conflict? I'm running Debian as a "testing" installation with the simple packages linux-image-2.6-686-smp cmucl So for cmucl I get version 19c-release-20051115-2. But the linux image for 2.6 recently upgraded in testing to 2.6.16-2-686-smp. And of course cmucl now fails to start with Couldn't mmap at 0xbe000000, len 1048576; got mapping at 0xa7cfe000 insteadensure_space: Failed to validate 1048576 bytes at 0xbe000000 So what's the current status? CMUCL is WONTFIX, and the kernel folks claim the same thing? Nobody cares that the application and the kernel are no longer compatible? At the very least, surely this means that the Debian CMUCL now needs some kind of new "Required:" package, to document that it is not (and will not be) compatible with the default 2.6 kernel. -- Don
