(As I use some non-GPL kernel modules - Atheros, Soft-Modem - that come with the SuSE kernels but are not in kernel.org's, I would prefer to stick with the SuSE-Kernel and not switch to the vanilla 2.6.10 kernel. But if this would be the only possibility to solve this problem, I would indeed switch...) > The tmpfs problem is also > compounded by the fact that UMLs without the fix-kill patch don't > exit properly, but the 2.6.9-bb4 patchset has the fix for UML. You say UM-Kernel 2.6.9-bb4 has that fix?
