Sorry, correction: I thought that patch was in since -bb4, I was just=20 confused, it's in since -bb3. So, I'd expect that either you get the proble= m=20 in the earlier patches, not the ones at the end, or you to get it starting = at=20 -bb3 (it's not really needed you test -bb3 if you are going to use separate= =20 patches). Btw, why people seem to refuse the idea of looking at the changelogs I prov= ide=20 on my page, or at the descriptions inside the patches themselves (not sure = if=20 this applies to you, too)? Also, you can download the splitout patches altogether, in the tarball you = find there. > > because it doesn't when i tell it to > > sometimes it even segfaults, when halting or rebooting. > > Ok, let's say it this way: UML happens to reboot depending on how much > lucky you / your box are. > > On my system, with *any* UML version, out of three reboots, I get on > average two correct reboots and one segfault.
