| Doc Text: |
Cause: Some broken user space apps (sometimes binary only) depend on a kernel version for 2.6.x.
Consequence: Applications that depend on 2.6.x no longer work.
Fix: The preferred fix is to fix the applications, however when this is not possible - eg. with binary apps, you can run the program with a "2.6.x personality"
Result: Applications run as expected.
