[IRCServices] FATAL: kernel too old

[jay]

More worried about the risk of it not coming back up than anything else. 

So, apart from installing a new kernel, what should I do? If I'm not going to get ircservices to work, can anyone recommend a different services application?

And anyway, what is it that ircservices needs in a newer kernel? If complex things like php/openss(h/l) and so on work fine here, why not something as simple as this?

Thanks,

Charlie
