2.4.26-linode30-1um contains a fix for the Kernel Panic reported by a few users:

Code: Kernel panic: handle_trap - failed to wait at end of syscall
The thread on the uml-devel mailing list is here.

How to Upgrade

See if you're already running 2.4.26-linode30-1um by viewing the output of "uname -a" inside your Linode. If not, follow this procedure:

:arrow: Log into the Linode Platform Manager (LPM)
:arrow: Configuration Profiles --> Click on your configuration profile
:arrow: Make sure the Kernel drop-down has "Latest 2.4 Series" selected and Save
:arrow: Reboot your Linode

Thanks and enjoy!

the kernel seems to have some stuff that isn't too useful for linodes. i'm not sure if it makes much of a difference, but why do we need:

-anything that has to do with FAT FS or DOS partitions
-PPP & SLIP
-IPX
-Appletalk

I want the ability to mount DOS images via loopback. The PPP and SLIP is used for VPN, however the AppleTalk and IPX stuff is probably useless... I'll remove it the next kernel build, if I don't hear any objections ;)

BTW, along these sort of lines, is there some sort of central repository of standard kernel modules for the kernels we run that we could use? That could help with some things. :)

Modules are disabled in all Linode kernels, for security reasons. However, everything you need should already be compiled into the kernels. Use the above .config file for reference.
