Hi,
I have a gentoo installation running the following kernel:
uname -a
Linux avi-server 3.1.0-gentoo #6 SMP Sat Mar 24 12:48:22 PDT 2012 x86_64
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2300 CPU @ 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
I wanted to run linux kernel 2.6.38 uner UML on this system. I checked out
the git repository for linux kernel (from kernel.org), and compiled a
2.6.38 kernel image for UML, with the default config. However, on running
the UML 2.6.38 kernel with a gentoo rootfs, the UML aborts with a kernel
panic.
However, when I compiled linux kernel 3.1.0 for the UML architecture things
worked perfectly. I was able to boot linux kernel 3.1.0 under UML (with a
gentoo rootfs). Is there a kernel dependency for UML, that I can't run a
2.6 kernel under 3.1? The website doesn't seem to mention any such
dependency.
Here is the error that I am observing on starting UML with linux kernel
2.6.38 on a 3.1.0 system:
./linux ubda=~/dev/kernel/UML/Gentoo-10.0-AMD64-root_fs mem=512M stderr=1
