I agree that a more generic solution would be better, but there aren't many kernel threads in the vanilla kernels that get started before init and can then be killed later. So I simply fixed the few that could. The presence of reparent_to_init makes me think that the original developers thought the onus should be placed on the thread itself. jb _________________________________________________________________ Free up your inbox with MSN Hotmail Extra Storage.
