Bug#380652: squid fails to start because of "Function not implemented" error

severity 380652 important
retitle 380652 squid 2.6 needs epoll() support which is not in kernel  
2.4.x
retitle 377697 squid 2.6 compiled with epoll() support does not start  
with kernel <= 2.6.x
merge 380652 377697
thanks

Hi Ambrose,
squid 2.6.STABLE is compiled with epoll() support turned on by  
default. The epoll() functions are supported only in kernels 2.6.x.

Since etch will ship with 2.6 as default and 2.4 will not be  
supported anymore, squid will carry a notice in README.Debian stating  
that kernels previous than 2.6.x are not supported anymore.

This bug was also already opened as 377697. I'm merging your reported  
with the previous one. Please check the bug reports before opening a  
new bug, next time.

Regards,
