[uml-user] kernel+image compat matrix?

2007-06-25 Thread Richard Andrews
Which uml guest kernels should be used with which filesystem images (does it matter)? I'm asking because I assume that more recent distros will make use of kernel features which are not present in older kernels. The nagafix page seems to promote a mix-and-match approach which doesn't sound like i

[uml-user] Building a filesystem

2006-08-06 Thread Richard Andrews
I'm looking for advice on building up a filesystem image file. I have a working server that I want to mimick in UML. What is the best way to get the filesystem of the real server into a UML filesystem image? What are the gotchas? eg. I can immediately suspect device configs and partition tables w

[uml-user] Segfault on startup in 2.6.17 (nagafix)

2006-08-05 Thread Richard Andrews
Total Noob. This is my first attempt at getting into UML. Not good so far. I downloaded 2.6.17 32-bit x86 kernel from nagafix (http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/) and it bombs on startup. Host is FC4 at 2.6.17 (32bit x86) SMP on hyperthreaded P4. Running in strace I see the following. The important bit se
