2.6.9-linode6 contains the first completely-from-vanilla UML version (no extra patches to 2.6.9)!

If you already run your Linode under 2.6, I recommend upgrading. I still consider this experimental, but if you want to give 2.6-um a try, please make sure to do the following:

For Debian Woody users: apt-get install dhcp3-client

For other users: mv /lib/tls /lib/tls-disabled (UML doesn't yet support NPTL)

I'm running Fedora Core 2 on my linode, and I was using 2.4.27-linode34-1um, and decided to try booting 2.6.9-linode6. The problem I have (even with /lib/tls and /usr/lib/tls moved) is that after my first login and logout with lish, I can no longer log in. I get the login: prompt, but no response. If I reboot, I can log in and out exactly once before the same thing happens.

I could have sworn that I encountered something like this in the forums before, but searching for it didn't turn up anything.

Reverting to 2.4.27-linode34-1um fixes the problem.

No issues so far with redhat9 (large)

Looks a lot faster than 2.6.9-rc2-mm4-linode5.

Well, after switching I get the following when trying to activate/check quotas:

quotacheck: Error while detecting kernel quota version: No such file or directory

Any ideas? It wourks fine under 2.4
