yes, first I tried my own configuration, then I downloaded a prebuild uml kernel from http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/ and I tried with this one. Same error again. Then I extracted the configuration from that image and I rebuild with that config, same error for the same problem. > this incompatibility, and I can't find bugs in the code able to produce this > (with a quick look).

Indeed with all 2.6.x kernels, it is the strangest thing. With 2.4.x it works perfectly. Another info: I used either the kernel.org sources and the debian's linux-source(s).
