Description David Korth 2011-06-07 05:20:40 UTC 
chronyd won't start if the Linux 3.0 kernel is in use, since it doesn't recognize the major version number.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Linux 3.0. (-rc2 at this time)
2. Start chronyd.
Actual Results:  
Init script starts, but system log shows this error:
"Fatal error : Kernel's major version not supported yet, sorry"

Expected Results:  
chronyd should start normally.

Fix for Linux-3.0 support.

This patch handles Linux 3.0 the same way chrony handles 2.6.28.

Fix for Linux-3.0 support. (v2)

Same fix, but this time it compiles correctly. (I forgot a semicolon after the "break" statement in the previous patch.)

Thanks for the patch. Fixed in 1.25-r1.
Comment 4 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-06-07 17:22:32 UTC 
The entire block of Linux kernel version checking has been removed, so the entire problem will probably be gone by 1.26.
