Exactly which "current kernels" are you talking about? The current stable gentoo-sources is 2.6.29-r5, which no longer supports squashfs files created in the old 3.x format. The autobuilds from a few weeks ago weren't bootable because of this, which forced us to stabilize sys-fs/squashfs-tools-4.0. Also, catalyst doesn't require *any* particular version of squashfs-tools, as the version is determined entirely by what's stable and what's supported by the kernel. We just call the utility, nothing more. |
