This is probably something else other than the kernel that has a bug. You can check if your kernel has semaphores set by going into /boot and running grep -i -e 'IPC' [config file for your running kernel] It should show something like CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y CONFIG_SYSVIPC_SYSCTL=y CONFIG_IPC_NS=y My suspicion would fall on systemd as a cause for your problem. But that's just a guess based on the error message, I haven't actually checked for the error message in the source. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
