Of course: what the kernle team has, since now, released is a bundle of drivers that makes the core kernel, plus a few interfaces, file-systems, etc... work. You probably don't need all the ordinary Linux supported drivers to make the UML work: that is why you can only see a restrict bundle of drivers when you are about to compile an UML kernel. > > I mean, working on a uml-patched kernel source tree, if I do > > make menuconfig > > I get the standard menu with all options, instead > > if I try > > make menuconfig ARCH=um > > I have much less. > > The uml patch is for building uml, not for building host kernels. The > many device drivers and such do not apply. Remember that, starting from an ordinary kernel archive, when you patch it, you ``create'' a new arch (let's call it ``not-ordinary'' or ``not-usual'') upon a SUBARCH, such i386, ppc, sparc! So you won't necessary have all the support you may expect, that's your doubt, isn't? > > What is it you are trying to include that the uml configurator doesn't offer? Depending on your aim, you probably need to wait a next release is you need a specific driver or ask for its port to UML arch. Be more specific, if you need futher support ;^P Regards SteX -- GPG key = D52DF829 -- Stex -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Keyserver: http://keyserver.kjsl.com - http://www.openlabs.it/~stex Registered user #324592 on the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org
