Hi Gordon, While this answer may not be what you're looking for, here goes: I had that issue a few days ago, so I simply went for the 2.6.20 kernel anyway, and patched that with the latest one. For me, it was a safer bet. I did, however, use the 2.6.23 kernel for UML Guests. Jay ---

[uml-user] /proc/mm in 2.6.23

2007-10-14 Thread Gordon Russell
I was about to update my host kernels from the somewhat dated versions I am using. However, blaisorblade's host patches only seem to go to 2.6.20-v9-pre9. From what I can tell, the current stable kernel is 2.6.23. I did try to patch from the 2.6.20 version I found, but a few of the hunks failed.

For example, if I want to build my guest kernel, I usually patch it with (e.g.) uml-2.6.18.1-bb2.patch.bz2. Is it not ncessary to patch it, in order to have a guest kernel, either on x86_64 and on i386 architectures? Flavio On 14/10/2007, Jeff Dike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sun, Oct 14, 200

Skas0 mode starts even though you don't apply any patch to the host kernel. Practically: 1) power on your x86_64 linux box (the host system) (this kernel is with or without skas3 patch - it doesn't matter) 2) patch your UML kernel with the uml-patch 3) run your UML kernel using whatever filesystem

The same problem here. Unfortunately skas3 mode isn't yet supported for x86_64 arch. You can patch the host kernel using skas3 patch but it won't work. Skas0 mode will works instead. It is not properly the same, but is better than the old tt-mode. As regard guests, you can patch them all. I think

[uml-user] UML on x86_64

2007-10-14 Thread Jean-Michel Caricand
Hi, I use UML on several systems (i386 arch) since years. Now, I want to use it on x86_64 systems. My questions : - does skas patch work fine on x86_64 ? - idem for guest path ? Cheers. Jean-Michel Caricand mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Créez votre adresse électronique [EMAIL PROTECTED]
