Hi,

I applied the patch to a 2.6.20 kernel and tried the 2.6.21-rc4 and 
still have the issue

The UML machine is in an infinite loop

ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGS, 16641, 0, 0x9dc5974) = 0
ptrace(PTRACE_GETFPXREGS, 16641, 0, 0x9dc5a24) = 0
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, 16641, 0, SIGSEGV)  = 0
waitpid(16641, [{WIFSTOPPED(s) && WSTOPSIG(s) == SIGUSR1}], WSTOPPED) = 
16641
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
ptrace(PTRACE_SETREGS, 16641, 0, 0x9dc5974) = 0
ptrace(PTRACE_SETFPXREGS, 16641, 0, 0x9dc5a24) = 0
ptrace(0x1f /* PTRACE_??? */, 16641, 0, 0) = 0
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
waitpid(16641, [{WIFSTOPPED(s) && WSTOPSIG(s) == SIGSEGV}], WSTOPPED) = 
16641
ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGS, 16641, 0, 0x9dc5974) = 0
ptrace(PTRACE_GETFPXREGS, 16641, 0, 0x9dc5a24) = 0
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, 16641, 0, SIGSEGV)  = 0
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---

Do I have to change things on my host machine ? (I use 2.6.18-1.2798 
with no skas3 patch)
