> Best regards, > David Well, your bug is a secondary one... everyone with UML/2.6.9 has problems onto host/2.6.9, because of core changes in the host kernel... UML/2.6.9-bb4 fixes them for most people (I can't reproduce the problems in SKAS mode with -bb4, so I can't diagnose them). In your case there is a problem with xterm configuration, which makes one more zombie appear (is the "xterm" binary installed and working?). UML should maybe handle error better in that case, but that code is not easy to fix, as noted in the comment about xterm_open()... That said, however, I'd like to get more info about your setup, remembering that your "Zombie"-thing related with xterm's is another bug, different from the main one... Please, make sure that "xterm" exists and works well on your system... probably it has not been installed and UML fails starting it. I look forward for an answer on this point.
