[uml-user] 2.6.12.2-bb4-skas0 crashes on 2.4.31 smp host unless mode=tt

2005-07-12 Thread Jason Lunz
When I use a 2.6.12.2-bb4-skas0 uml on an unpatched smp 2.4.31 host, I have to use "mode=tt". If I let it use skas0, it crashes with: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Kernel panic - not syncing: get_skas_faultinfo : failed to wait for SIGUSR1/SIGTRAP, pid = 27275, n = 27275, errno = 0

[uml-user] uml and nonstandard memory splits?

In 2.6.16, the kernel allows user-selectable address space splits. I have 1.5G of memory, so choosing 2G/2G lets me turn off highmem. I also have the new 2.6.16 skas3 v8.2 patch applied. With this configuration, all umls die immediately, whether I try skas0, skas3 or TT. Is this something uml ca
