Hello there,
I just tested the last grsecurity-2.1.9-2.6.18-200609222230.patch with my previous .config settings, and it compiles and runs seemingly well, except that I have no log at all on my system! Both klog and syslog don't seem to work, and log files remain empty. Neither do I get grsec-generated logs (such as when time is set) displayed on console after bootup (whereas I get some during bootup). Log system works fine with a not patched 2.6.18 kernel.
So I wanted to try a kernel with no grsec option enabled, but I ran into another problem : kernel fails to compile.
