   # Subject: re: Emulations as LKM (final) 
   # 
   #    
   #    Remaining problems:
   #    * implicit dependency on compat_43 and other compat/common stuff - I
   # won't
   #      make anything about this now; it's just the way it is, however the
   # emulations
   #      should be totally standalone in the future and not require
   # COMPAT_43 in kernel
   # 
   # this should be solved by having a "compat43" LKM available that the
   # emulation LKM "depends" on.... i believe the new LKM framework ragge is
   # working on will allow this ?
   
   FWIW:  Last time I disabled COMPAT_43, I wasn't able to log in, change my
   password or anything else, even on the console (came back with "Not a tty"
   (at the time)).  This was in 1.0-my-god-it-is-crufty/i386.

obviously, the compat43 LKM wouldn't be loaded if that support was statically
linked into the kernel.
   
   ...has this been fixed, or does disabling COMPAT_43 still produce this
   bug?

i believe that mycroft fixed our userland to not use any compat43 interfaces
a couple of years ago..
