I put a statically built stat(1) binary there: https://www.kib.kiev.ua/kib/stat-ino64-static You might use it as a test for the right kernel: after you boot with supposedly new kernel but old world, try to run the binary. If running results in SIGSYS (12), you have configuration issue to solve.Received on Wed May 24 2017 - 09:31:19 UTC
