Dear UML developers, I use UML for about two years, especially the version linux-2.4.24um-3 (uml-patch-2.4.24-3.bz2), and is quite stable.
Now I've compiled the last patch from SourceForge (uml-patch-2.4.27-1) and sometimes (sporadically, maybe 1 out of 50 tries) my UMLs won't start. Today I've pointed out this. I am affraid this is not reproducible, but the thing is that with 2.4.24 based guests, I've never observed this problem! In this case I had only one UML guest running on my host, and I believe at least 48 Mbyte of RAM free. Maybe the UML patch uml-patch-2.4.27-1 is not o.k. ?
