I wonder if you could move the bulk of stuff (the console open, the calls to run_init_proces) that happens after prepare_namespace into a separate function and attempt to call it both before and after prepare_namespace; the problem seems to be the unlock_kernel &c., which I gather must be done after prepare_namespace? -Miles -- I'm beginning to think that life is just one long Yoko Ono album; no rhyme or reason, just a lot of incoherent shrieks and then it's over. --Ian Wolff - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
