Just to recap:

TT mode support under 2.6.12 works fine and I can boot a custom build
kernel with it. A downloaded, known good 2.6.12 also boots a know good
linux disk image.

2.6.18, either compiled by myself, or a downloaded known good doesn't
boot either my known good disk image as used with 2.6.12 or one
downloaded from the web.  The 2.6.18 that doesn't work on my machine
has been used successfully on someone elses environment boot my known
good image.

My guess is that this issue is related to SKAS0 support in the newer
kernels. I've been meaning to find the earliest kernel that ships with
SKAS0 and try both TT mode and SKAS0 mode to see what happens there.

http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/new/problems.html#vdso seems to
be the problem I'm having but I'm running UML under Xen, and there is
not /proc/config.gz to check the kernel config, nor do I access to
Dom0. so I have no way to check CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO or have it changed
on my host.

I'm willing to have a go at debugging using gdb etc. but I really
don't know what I'm looking for there.
