I recently had similar problems setting up UML. You need to download a recent vanilla (unmodified) kernel from kernel.org. (eg. 2.6.12) Then patch it with the corresponding patch from http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade The instructions on that site should guide you through patching and building.
