The boxes have admins that are keeping them up to date, what is needed is a 
working kernel with security updates.

I remember you (or maybe thibaut?) volunteering to provide a 
kernel+initramfs of a recent working kernel with security updates. Does 
that exist?

Thanks,

I seem to recall volunteering to admin these boxes, since it was pretty
obvious that no one was giving them any love, but it fell on deaf ears.

FWIW, the hppa experimental buildds both run 2.6.22 kernels and seem to
do fine. Probably not a very good situation security-wise, though.

I didn't manage to get any recent kernel to boot, yet...

HPPA kernel issues (was: please push ruby1.9 1.9.0.2-4 to testing)

These kernel issues currently kill the two HPPA build daemons quite
often - they are currently running 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-parisc #2 Wed Jun
11 19:04:04 UTC 2008.

Last week I had to reset them more often than I can count with my
fingers without resorting to binary.

Unless this gets fixed I don't see much of a future for peri and
penalosa, at least not as DSA/debian.org systems.

Also, these two build daemons are at the same location, so at the least
we're lacking redundancy in buildd location.

Then there is the issue of the porter box, which still didn't get a
fixed kernel for the Februrary kernel thing.  DSA did ask around for
help but it vanished every time.

Just FYI.
