ibam in 4.x error

[Jason W]

Ibam is not working with TC 4.x, seems to be some changes in where the kernel keeps relevant files, a snipped output of strace:

Code: [Select]

Is APM enabled in the 4.x kernel?

Which command line switch was used?

[Jason W]

No flags were used, I always just used the command alone.

This patch that gentoo uses on it's package fixes the issue on my box:

[bmarkus]

I will take a look on the patch. Good to hear it is used!

[curaga]

Yes, there is APM, but newer boxes do not have it.

Recompiled on TC4.0 apllying patch. It works fine. However binary is 470k after stripping resulting a 201k .tcz while TC 3.x build is only 29k.

Thanks, I will upload them.
