That mainline code moved so far that the current UML driver was too far behind to properly function and *completely* broke. If only breakage with new UM-TTY code is old util-linux. And we have a ready made patch for it. Would you please reconsider, and point the util-linux users to the fixing patch. Because as it stands: Current code: util-linux - works FC12-17 - Broken (Patch *not* available) Debain based - works New code: util-linux - Broken, patch available FC12-15 - Works (with issues) Debain based - works So it is not like I'm sacrificing util-linux People completely, but I am totally sacrificing FC People by not committing. Please reconsider, unless you have a patch for me for FC systems that I can apply so I can use the old code.
