Yes, this was also a problem in 2.6 kernels with SYSEMU support - this went away as a side effect of the big global bunch of patches which went in after 2.6.9, reorganizing and fixing a lot of core code (see 2.6.9-bs7 to get a partial idea).
For now, it is unlikely all those fixes will be timely backported... they would destabilize the 2.4 tree. -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by Microsoft Mobile & Embedded DevCon 2005 Attend MEDC 2005 May 9-12 in Vegas.
