It works fine, except for your problem as noted above with shm. I believe
there
are some patches floating around the LKML with a fix for this, but it may be
just to add shm to sysfs. I just removed the mount for /dev/shm and
everything
/seems/ to work fine, though I haven't stayed in 2.6 for long (can't remember
what the problem is, I may go back and check tonight).
