Do you want modules badly enough to put
	define_bool CONFIG_UNIX y
in arch/um/config.in and rebuilding?  You probably will also get some 
undefined symbols and will have to go grepping around in my code putting 
EXPORT_SYMBOL() in the appropriate places.

If you do that and it works, I will gladly put the changes in...

Failing as in the kernel crapping out every time it runs fsck, or fsck 
crapping out, but not doing anything strange with the kernel?

If the kernel is crapping out, I need to know how, what, where, etc.

In any case, you can probably work around that by fscking the filesystem from 
outside.
