The port you use may do the same. You've been > warned... actually linuxulator checks if the "osrelease" string is at least 3 chars long and if the 3rd char is "6" so "2.6.16" works exactly the same as "9.6.IamAlittleBUTTERFLY".... the fact is that we officially support only 2.6.16 as this is what is most testing done with. On the other hand I think that anything below 16 (2.6.0 -> 2.6.15) should work exactly as good. The problem might be with version > 16. Anyway - the port should be fixed. In 8-CURRENT we default to "2.6.16" so the port doesnt work... roman
