I'm not, unless your sentence mean that you have a test server on which you verified this is true... and even in that case, it can mean that this bug shows on hosts not supporting SYSEMU (like SKAS3/2.6-v1 hosts). Which would be anyway a bug. And UML *should* be happy even without SYSEMU (if not for anything else, because you can pass "nosysemu" to it). -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
