[uml-devel] 2.6.18-skas-v9-pre9 broken

["Christopher S. Aker" <caker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Blaisorblade,

I recently deployed a 2.6.18-skas3-v9-pre9 host, and some users weren't 
able to boot UML beyond "VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly". 
  As it turns out, only 2.6-um kernels were affected, 2.4-um worked fine.

This happened both in skas3 and skas0 modes.  Jeff graciously took a 
look at some straces, and his comment was that "something broke page 
fault handling generically".

The traces are here:

http://www.theshore.net/~caker/uml/skas2.6.18-uml_trace_skas0.txt

Reverting back to a skas3-v8.2 kernel fixed it.

HTH,
-Chris
