I just switched from kernel 2.4.26 to kernel 2.6.7. It seems to be working ok. I then removed the 2.4 26 linux headers and installed the the 2.6.7 headers. I read that once you change the headers you should reinstall glibc. However when I attempt to do so I receive the following error.
| Code: | * Checking kernel headers for broken sysctl.h ... yes

I'm not sure how to proceed. |

| 2.6.7 kernel headers are somewhat problematic. Try switching to 2.6.6, and see whether it compiles then. |

So after installing the 2.6.6 headers I did an
and it shows the 2.6.6 headers as the only package to remove. Why is that? |
