I have been experiencing VM problems with the host linux kernel when 
running UMLs. These have generally been swap_dup errors under vanilla 
kernel trees, so I proceeded to patch my kernel with the rmap patch to 
see if this would make any difference.

I experienced the following problem this afternoon, on a system running 
2.4.19-ck7-rmap, which required a reboot before UML would continue to 
work correctly. If anyone needs more information, let me know - I can't 
actually reproduce this on demand, but it seems to occur reasonably 
frequently. I'm confident that it is not a hardware issue, as I have 
tested the system under load, and have had it happily swap out a couple 
of Gb to disk, then back into RAM without any problems. Someone 
suggested that it may be because I'm swapping to a LVM LV, but I've no 
idea if that is actually a contributing factor or not.
