sounds like the report was of CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO=y causing problems, the
problem being fixed by using CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO=n. Is that right, or inverted?
It is right.
CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO=y causes the kernel to hang after unmounting the old proc and
sys filesystems. I can boot the same kernel if I use the kernel option vdso=0.
I can boot with CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO=n
The problem appeared in 2.6.20-1.2925 and 2.6.20-1.2933.
I do not know how the option CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO was turned on. It is turned on
in every kernel-config since 2868 (the oldest one I found)
