A fix would be more than welcome. (2.6.16 is a bit dated) I believe a lot of users are hitting this bug now too (and it is a regression) as a lot of distros ship recent kernels. Another regression in 2.6.16 (or later?) is the inability to run 32-bit guests on 64-bit hosts (the same binaries that used to work before - statically compiled). The boot stops very early during the "checking ptrace" step. Antoine ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
