have you tried running any Linux binaries? Have you installed any of the linux_base emulator ports? Try downloading a linux binary or installing a linux based application from ports.. if you do not get any elf binary errors then yo umost likely have the linux compatibility enabled correctly. The only other thing to watch for are any programs that might require linprocfs Hope this helps..
