[arch-dev-public] Arch minimum kernel version (was: [signoff] udev-145-1)

I'll shoot an email to Slicehost on my behalf to see what kernels they have available. What other VPS providers offer Arch? It isn't a tough thing to find out how much we can get away with here.

I think SevenL networks (who provide services to us) offers Arch...
Doing a search on google "archlinux hosting" [1] I found some companies that I didn't notice of their existence in fact.
Got a response from Slice: The following kernels are available for your slice to upgrade. Please let us know and we can take care of that for you. 2.6.24 - 23.48 2.6.24 - 24.55 I believe these should be Ubuntu kernel versions; I'm seeing right now what they actually include as it might include a fully working signalfd(). If anyone wants to contact some other providers (especially if you are already using their services) and post the response here, that would be cool. -Dan

udev-145 should work fine with a 2.6.24.5 kernel or newer, and latest kernel above is definitely fixed: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.24.y.git;a=shortl... http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.24.y.git;a=commit... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux/+changelog

Ubuntu has patched their kernels since 2.6.24-23.46 with that, so both shouldn't have signalfd bugs.
