Well, rather bad, and it's the 1st time I see reports about a such issue... hope you're not enabling CONFIG_STATIC_LINK, because it is known to give problems (for me, I've never been able to make it work recently). > This is on a 2.4.27 host. With which SKAS version applied? You have applied one patch, as it's clear above - just you don't specify which one. > Paul Can you supply more specific informations about the host glibc version, distro and so on, to help investigating on this? I cannot reproduce it locally, sadly... Any more specific help is accepted... possibilities: 1) downloading and unpacking the tarball with the split-out form of the patch, renaming the folder to patch-scripts, and applying not the complete patch-set but only part of it, until you see when it stops working... You should install patch-scripts to do that *very* quickly. After unpacking the tarball and setting the PATH to include their folders, go in the source tree and do either: pushpatch - to push one patch or pushpatch 12 - to push 12 patches or pushpatch patch-scripts/patches/.... to apply all patches until that one. poppatch is used to reverse patches. 2) posting / uploading a bzipped2 strace of what's going on. 3) supplying a local access on the host so that I can debug this myself, if I have time (but that would be more difficult - it requires some more inconvenience for both of us, I think). -- 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.
