kernel=2.4.1 on ubuntu 8.04

[ali2555]

Hi,

I am wondering how I get a tool that needs kernel=2.4.1 to work on Ubuntu?

Thanks

what tool are you trying to use that requires a specific kernel? possibly there is an alternative available, usually user applications don't require a specific kernel, but I'm sure its not completely unheard of

It's cadence assura. If I don't set the kernel I get this error:

"version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference"

[coopstah13]

try this code

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1; export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

not sure if it will work or not though

[ali2555]

that is what I did, but after setting that nothing worked, not even ls and vi commands.

I think you may be out of luck, glibc_2.0 is pretty old, I think it was used in 2.2 kernel and 2.4 kernel only. You could probably compile and install a 2.4 kernel provided you are using ext3 filesystems in order to run this application, but you might need to do something such as install a virtual machine with an older version of linux just to run it. I've never heard of the application, so I'm not sure if there is any alternatives to it.
