I tried upgrading my UML running 2.4.28-1um to 2.6.15.2-bs1. After bringing
the UML up under the later kernel, I noticed random processes within the UML
would segfault. For instance, I tried SSHing to it over and over and in
about 1 in 5 attempts my shell or something else during the login procedure
would segfault before getting to a prompt.

/lib/tls has been moved to /lib/tls.disabled and I stopped & restarted the
UML after making that change, didn't help.

Nothing distinct was printed to the guest's syslog or kernel log except
"line_write_room: tty0: no room left in buffer", but the occurance of those
messages didn't seem to correlate with the segfaults.

I reverted back to 2.4.28-1um and everything is fine again.

The only other changes I made were switching from devfs to regular device
files in 2.6, and booting the 2.6 kernel with more memory (this 2.4 image I
have has TT enabled and won't start with more than mem=200M).

Any ideas? Any other info I can post?

Thanks
