hi !
concerning the uml "hang" after  "NET: Registered protocol family 2":

after some investigation i found, that the problem seems to have been introduced with
uml-patch-2.6.0-1 (at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/user-mode-linux/uml-patch-2.6.0-1.bz2)

uml-patch-2.6.0-test9-1 (at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/user-mode-linux/uml-patch-2.6.0-test9-1.bz2?download),
in conjunction with minor compile-fix http://people.0x63.nu/~andersg/uml-minor-fixes.diff works nicely for me.

seems there has been a major change (lots of merges?) in uml-patch-2.6.0-1 because it`s much more bigger (around 2x) than
uml-patch-2.6.0-test9-1

btw:
i use Bryan O'Sullivan`s skas patch on my host kernel. see: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5840691
since this patch isn`t based on steven james patch (which stephen williams patch is based of), it isn`t a skas issue, but a compiler
or host-fs issue !? i`m on suse9 host.

any clues?

regards
roland
