[uml-user] Re: Expedted SIGSTOP, got status = <blah> (UML 2.4.24-1um)

[D. B. <db...@en...>]

ok - i have skas hosts - and i'm tired of this occasional hang.

BEGIN HACK ALERT -- i have 'can_do_skas()' return 1 -- END HACK ALERT

and now the kernel fails to pass control to init ? why ?
(run_init_process is called with /sbin/init - but it just hangs...)

any ideas?
