This is what I understood. 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.

Thanks again for everything, so far
Boaz
