I guessed that from reading the code already ;) I'm happy with any other fix for the kernel crash as well. I'm no VFS expert through and don't know what exactly is wrong in the original code. I know that my version has the drawback that it depends on procfs actually being mounted on /proc, but it's better that than being able to kill the kernel by calling "uml_mconsole proc " a few timers ;) > > uml-terminal-cleanup > > I like this one, but it's big and I'm going to have to take a good look at it. > I'm somewhat unhappy about the command line change, where you need to specify > a console or UML doesn't boot.
