I was wondering why this phase of the boot process is so slow. Is
there some way I can speed it up? If there is some configuration I can
tweak to skip this step, that would be great, if it would require
changing a lot of kernel source or what-not, then just tell me that
also, and I will live with i
OK. So I figured out how to solve my problem. I will post my results
and method below:
The module was compiled using ARCH=um of course, so it has debugging
information right in the .ko file.
I put a break point at __link_module (kernel/module.c:1775).
I boot UML, and tell it to load my module.
I am in desperate need of debugging modules in UML. The primary reason
I am developing in UML is so I can debug my modules in gdb like a
"normal" program, as well as the other benefits of UML. Blaiserblade
was very kind in responding to me, but I find it hard to believe that
no one has debugged a m
I apologize, this is the wrong list.

How do I debug modules with the new UML? I searched around the old
website, and the link pointing to the handy-sounding script that does
it for you is broken
(http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/dl-sf#UML%20utilities), this
link came from http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/debugging.html

I am trying to intercept all system calls just within the kernel layer
(with a 'normal' kernel I would do this by replacing sys_whatever in
the sys_call_table). What would be a good way to go about this in UML?
I would expect that since 'um' is its own architecture in the kernel
tree, that it would
So apparently the Fedora image that was on the website didn't work
with the 2.6.16 kernel I downloaded. Once I tried the image with
2.6.17 it worked fine. I think the Fedora image used thread local
storage, and the 2.6.16 kernel didn't support it well.

I followed the instructions on the website to build the kernel, and it
appears to finish making (no build errors) but when I try running it
with this command:
./linux ubda=../FedoraCore5-x86-root_fs mem=128M
It doesn't boot, and gives me this error:
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
