I noticed that I am unable to kill processes using this kernel and I don't know why. I have even tried it as root with no luck. Example: blackhat root # ps -e | grep pdf 6 ? 00:00:00 pdflush 17372 ? 00:00:01 pdflush blackhat root # killall pdflush blackhat root # kill -9 6 blackhat root # kill -9 17372 blackhat root # ps -e | grep pdf 6 ? 00:00:00 pdflush 17372 ? 00:00:01 pdflush blackhat root # emerge info -v Portage 2.0.50-r1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3_pre20040207-r0, 2.6.3-gentoo-r2) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.3-gentoo-r2 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.13p1 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="" ARCH="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" BASH_ENV="/etc/portage/bashrc" CATALINA_HOME="/opt/tomcat" CC="gcc" CCACHE_SIZE="4G" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O5 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CG_COMPILER_EXE="/usr/bin/cgc" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CLASSPATH="."
