Hi everyone,
I am looking into user mode linux to help with some testing, however I'm
not sure if it is capable of doing quite what I need. I have a couple of
questions that I was hoping you could answer.
1) Is it possible for an instance of user mode linux to simulate the use
of a piece of ha
Hi all,
I've got a session of user mode linux up and running using the
pre-compiled binaries so thought I would have a go at building my own
uml. Hopefully this will help me to understand uml a bit more. I have
downloaded the 2.6.18 kernel from kernel.org and applied the -mm patch
(Which I bel
Hi Samuel,
Thanks, that got me a bit further :)
I removed my linux directory, unpacked the kernel source again and
applied the patch you linked to. The make is now failing with the
following error:
CC lib/rbtree.o
CC lib/rwsem.o
CC lib/semaphore-sleepers.o
CC lib/sha1

Hi all,
I was dragged away from this problem for a couple of weeks and have only
just got back to it. I'm still having the same problem. I have even
tried building 2.6.17.13 and get exactly the same error, which suggests
to me it is definitely something in my setup. I'm running Fedora Core 4,
Hi Jeff,
I'll give this a try today. One thing to note is that if I build a

Thanks,
