Hello folks,
I built a 2.6.6 uml patched kernel and started it up with a Fedora Core 2 file system. It seems like the FC2 file system was built with a 2.6.5 kernel for which I could not find any UML patches. Now because of this incompatibility, whenever I try to compile a module in the uml and try to insmod it, I get an error about version magic incompatibilities.
I have a few questions:
1) I would like to have a complete 2.6 uml system where I can insmod modules. But my host system is a 2.4 (so I cant build a root fs). Are there any Fedora Core file systems built against 2.6.6 (or any other version of the kernel that has a UML patch) ? The one I downloaded was from stearns.org
2) I upgraded my host gcc so that the gcc used to build the kernel and the gcc in the FC2 fs match up. I also changed the name of the kernel so that uname -r on the uml returns the same thing as the version magic expects (2.6.5-1.237) by plugging in the appr values in the top Makefile and getting rid of the -1um appended by a UML makefile. I know the latter step is pretty bad. But then I have no idea how to introduce the REGPARMS and 4KSTACKS into the version magic. Is there a way to configure these in .config for ARCH=um ? The only incompatibilities now are absence of the REGPARMS and 4KSTACKS while the kernel name and gcc versions match up.
Thanks !
