I usually have no problems with a new kernel but this time there were a few surprises. First, there is a new kernel option called "Kernel support for scripts starting with #!." This option seemed applicable only to boot scenarios involving initramfs but unchecking it caused my system to fail to boot. Because this may cause unexpected problems for others, I mention it here. Second, the RTC (real time clock) module option, which has been present for a long time as a basic kernel driver, has suddenly disappeared. To get the same functionality, one has to enable the new "PC-style CMOS" RTC driver, and because this builds a module with a different name (rtc-cmos vs. rtc) my custom start-up scripts suddenly were broken. It took a bit of searching to resolve the problem. I suppose that users of udev may not notice the change, but I mention it just in case others may experience something similar. However, the main problem for me with kernel-3.20 is that the nvidia-drivers will fail to emerge. Here is the error: nvidia-drivers-319.32/work/kernel/nv-i2c.c: In function 'nv_i2c_del_adapter': nv-i2c.c:327:14: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be When I encountered this failure I expected that a huge outcry of bug reports would ensue, but so far things have been rather quiet. There are only a few postings of this problem with 3.10-rc1 and not much else. I should perhaps just patiently wait for the eventual rapid fix, because this error is a real show stopper, but I will make an inquiry nonetheless. Has anyone on the list encountered this error with nvidia and kernel-3.10? I hope it is not, again, some strange affliction peculiar to my machine. Frank Peters
