That's because of my favourite change from the 2.4.3 patch:
- strcpy(tsk->comm, "kupdate"); + strcpy(tsk->comm, "kupdated");
noflushd 2.4 fixed this issue in the daemon itself, but I had forgotten about the generic startup skript. (Rpms and debs run their customized versions.)
Either the current version from CVS, or
ed /your/init.d/location/noflushd << EOF %s/kupdate/kupdated/g w q EOF
should get you going.
Regards,
Daniel.
