http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/patches.html right? My site is entirely different (link in my signature), though we *do* work together. Well, the incrementals page is a bit of a mess for 2.4. The complete series applies on top of 2.4.26-3um (or rather, it should, but I've had some problems with some of them), while 2.4.27-1um includes patches up to (and included) "2.4.27". > Since I need to keep the SuSE kernel for the host system for various > reasons, would it solve the problem, if I include the commandline syemu > patch in the guest kernel and start it with nosysemu parameter? I'm almost sure an updated SuSE kernel would solve this. However, an even better solution is to use the -bs1 patch from my site (look at the instructions, it's split in two parts). It does not include the SYSEMU patches so it will work well on your host. -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
