[uml-user] init livelock

[Sakari A. <sak...@lu...>]

Hi,

I use Debian 2.2 on UML. It works otherwise fine but init hogs all CPU
time (top shows some CPU time usage and ps aux|grep init says init is
always running). Processes hogging CPU time on host machine are linux 
[(tracing thread)] and linux [init]. Init doesn't either care about 
signals it normally responds somehow to (e.g. telinit q does nothing).

I tried to use strace on init (linux mem=32m ubd0=root.img
init="/usr/bin/strace /sbin/init") but in that case init refused to
behave normally.

I also tried to remove some useless stuff from inittab but the problem
persisted.

If I pass -b option to init it works fine, so it still might be my
inittab (http://retiisi.dyndns.org/~sailus/inittab) or what init does
without -b option...

UML version is 2.4.17-14um.

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks,
