Re: [SD4L-user] Trouble installing and building on Ubuntu Hardy

[Hans-Ulrich J. <han...@t-...>]

Hello Dale Osborn,

the package ScramDisk_1.3-0_Ubuntu-8.04_2.6.24_i386.deb
was built with kernel 2.6.24-16.

Some changes introduced with the Ubuntu kernel 2.6.24-18
result in the behavior you experienced. As solution I
built on Ubuntu kernel 2.6.24-18 the new package

ScramDisk_1.3-0_Ubuntu-8.04_2.6.24-18_i386.deb

This package still works with later again updated Ubuntu
kernels including 2.6.24-21. Please, download this package.
It should work for you.

Best regards
Ulrich
