Mr Antoine,
thank you very much.
I think i will accomplish much better results with all this
information that you share with me.
I believe that kind of fundamentals information must be present in the
user mode linux sourceforge site. It will be very helpfull, specially
for uml newbies like me.

Not for 2.2
Only by applying patches for 2.4.
Alway
I checked the arch directory of 2.6.15 kernel source tree.
There is an um folder there. I believe the difference is here.
Its true for older kernel sources ? Lets say, the 2.2 kernel ?.
I will see a arch/um folder ?
Is correct to say : if i get a kernel source, apply no patch at all,
compile with

I think i get a little confused.
The key aspect here is that the uml kernel is formed in compile time,
not by altering the source code of a brand new kernel source.
If that is correct, where resides the difference ?
I mean, ARCH=um is not a real hardware architecture, like a i386.
Which influence

Very enlightening.
I think i had get the concept in a wrong form.
Two questions:
1) what is the patch files for ?
2) where resides the modifications that turn a originally destined
host kernel into an uml (guest) kernel ?
The hole difference is made para ARCH=um ?
Thanks

My fault again.
When i say 2.6.20 kernel i mean the 2.6.20 kernel source downloaded
from www.kernel.org. A host kernel.

Because there are issues with host kernels >2.6.15 (otherwise you would
use them - you could try and see if it
Thus,
for host kernel: 2.6.15 version
for guest (uml) kernel: 2.6.20 version
I have to ask: uml is a linux (working in user mode). Why the difference ?
You say..

Is not required for 2.6.15 ? Why ???
I already downloaded the skas-2.6.15-v8.2.patch.bz2 (skas3-v8).

I remember that you suggested to me a 2.6.15 kernel version.
You say "..there are issues with x86 host kernels >= 2.6.16."
Is it only for host kernel ? For uml kernels its better use the last version ?

Hi Sirs.
I am new in uml affairs and wish to clear some doubts.
I hesitated in send this message because the level of threads posted
here is far beyond the respective message subject. However I
think...well, everybody started from beginning...so:
I am building an uml kernel from linux 2.6.15.4 so
19 matches
