Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.20-8-generic

Feisty kernel image 2.6.20.8.4 prevents running Scratchbox (r4 Apophis) (Scratchbox stopped working after
dist-upgrade last week). Here is what the Scratchbox complains:
karoliina@karoliina-laptop:/scratchbox$ ./login

Welcome to Scratchbox, the cross-compilation toolkit!

Use 'sb-menu' to change your compilation target.
See /scratchbox/doc/ for documentation.

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: rtld.c: 1192: dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: rtld.c: 1192: dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!

karoliina@karoliina-laptop:/scratchbox$

According to Daniel Stone, the kernel needs VDSO compat enabled in order to run Scratchbox.
The Scratchbox runs on older kernel image.

This bug currently blocks Launchpad spec: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/maemo-on-ubuntu
as it prevents running the Scratchbox on the latest Feisty kernel.

So my temporary fix for continuing running the scratchbox is to use 2.6.20-6 -kernel.
Any news on this? This affects every Maemo developer running Feisty.

I'm running 2.6.20-9 and this still hits me.

Ooops. This got disabled when we enabled paravirt, but the two should work together.

E: You must close your other scratchbox sessions first
E: Specify an alternative installation path using '-s PATH' option.

Just reassigning this to the kernel team. Also, I'm reassigning this bug to the "linux" package. Beginning with Hardy, kernel bugs should be reported against linux instead of linux-source-2.6.xx. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks.

The security team specifically requested that COMPAT_VDSO be disabled for Hardy and subsequent kernels as it is considered a security vulnerability.
