I have no idea how useful this is for anyone, but I was told by some 
folks on #cat-v that this should be e-mailed out. Linuxemu3 breaks on 
new kernels/linux trees. Here's the fix for that error and some other 
little tidbits left over from experimentation.

Error: FATAL: kernel too old
Debug: http://okturing.com/src/2478/body
Debug Command: 'linux -dd -r mroot/ /bin/bash -i'
FS Tree:
http://download.proxmox.com/appliances/system/debian-7.0-standard_7.0-2_i386.tar.gz
Notes: Does not crash, exits with an error.

Fix: Debian 7.0 uses kernel 3.2.x, changed
Kernel Reference:
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-whats-new.en.html

<cinap_lenrek> open linuxemu3/proc.c
<cinap_lenrek> strncpy(p->release, "2.6.11", 65);
<cinap_lenrek> and change this arround to something more *modern*
<cinap_lenrek> in sys_uname()
Changed using the above to "3.2.1" then 'mk; mk install'


Characters double themselves, use 'vt'.


Aptitude can update itself, but not install anything:
  
https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList#Example_sources.list_for_Debian_7_.22Wheezy.22

apt-get update succeeds after sources.list is changed from default to ^ and you run:
apt-get autoclean; apt-get clean; apt-get update

apt-get install fails on:

E: Couldn't determine free space in/var/cache/apt/archives/  - statvfs
(38: Function not implemented)

The above error was found in some Linux From Scratch threads relating to
a problem in glibc, no definitive answer has yet been found.

If apt-get update is run and there are no changes from the current
state, an error returns:

GPG Error: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2

Ping fails on: icmp open socket: Invalid argument
