Hi, I need to run some recent software on a legacy server running 2.4.18 kernel. Sadly it is not possible to rebuild the sotware to run natively with that kernel (our code requires boost, boost requires gcc 4.5+, gcc4.5+ doesn't like old glibc and recent glibc doesnt build for 2.4 kernel). So I'm trying to run UML 2.6 kernel on 2.4 system. I tried prebuilt 2.6.27 kernel from (http://uml.devloop.org.uk/kernels.html) but it refused to run on 2.4 ("ERROR: kernel too old"). Next, I tried to build it on the Debian Woody VM with gcc 2.95 & 3.4 and glibc 2.2 but got dozens of errors. Is it possible to build and run 2.6 on 2.4? What environment is required? What are the limitations if any?
