As you will have noticed by previous posts to this list by myself and 
Bill, this is quite a common issue and something which we've both 
battled with over the last couple of months. AFAIK, this is a host 
kernel issue and from my own experiences, it is completly independent of 
the UML kernel which is running on the host.

You might want to look at running the latest 2.4.20-preX kernel on it, 
or back pedeling a little and looking at 2.4.18 or something and seeing 
if they are any more successful - Generally, the closer I've got to 
2.4.19, the more unstable my host has been.

As always, I'd be interested to hear if you have any progress with this 
and whether or not upgrading the kernel actually changes anything.

David
