AFAIK SuSE ships an -aa kernel, not just a plain 2.4.18. I probably
have a version of bproc that patchs on top of that, but it could not
work. I think bproc has some problem with the O(1) scheduler (processes
rforked do not start or do not exit...)
If the -aa shipped in SuSE still does not have the O(1) scheduler, perhaps...
I was using bproc on top of -aa kernels for sometime, and it stopped
working. When I have the time will try to track when did it broke exactly.
