-<title>Host System Requirements</title>
-<?dbhtml filename="hostreqs.html"?>

-<para>The host must be running at least a 2.6.2 kernel compiled with
-GCC-3.0 or higher. There are two main reasons for this high
-requirement. First, the Native POSIX Threading Library (NPTL)
-test suite will segfault if the host's kernel has not been compiled with
-GCC-3.0 or a later version. Secondly, the 2.6.2 or later version of
-the kernel is required for the use of Udev. Udev creates devices
-dynamically by reading from the <systemitem
-class="filesystem">sysfs</systemitem> file system. However, support
-for this filesystem has only recently been implemented in most of
-the kernel drivers. We must be sure that all critical system devices
-get created properly.</para>
-
-<para>In order to determine whether the host kernel meets the
-requirements outlined above, run the following command:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>cat /proc/version</userinput></screen>
-
-<para>This will produce output similar to:</para>
-
-<screen><computeroutput>Linux version 2.6.2 (user@host) (gcc version 3.4.0) #1
-    Tue Apr 20 21:22:18 GMT 2004</computeroutput></screen>
-
-<para>If the results of the above command state that the host kernel
-was not compiled using a GCC-3.0 (or later) compiler, one will need to
-be compiled.  The host system will then need to be rebooted to use the
-newly compiled kernel. Instructions for compiling the kernel and
-configuring the boot loader (assuming the host uses GRUB) are located
-in <xref linkend="chapter-bootable"/>.</para>
