Damn. It's an ld.so bug. Workaround: say telinit u after ldconfig. It has
nothing with the kernel (hint: if init keeps an open file that was
unlinked by some other process umount will be unhappy. ld.so used to leave
such an easter egg to init. ldconfig unlinked it). Proper solution:
{up|down}grade glibc to the version that doesn't have this bug.
