Hi, You can find my install writeup at
http://www.monkeyhelper.com/2006/06/installing_user_mode_linux_on.html I'm running Debian Sarge stable with SKAS patch (see the writeup) and then as my host UML kernel I'm using a blaisorblade precompiled kernel32-2.6.16.18-bs2 The strange thing is I'm sure I've already created a rootstrap host fs on this machine a few months ago, so I can only conclude I've installed a package upgrade thats broken something. I'm doing some more testing so I'll let you know if I find out anything else ...
