i also use the debian 2.6.8 kernel with the debian skas patch for my uml hosts. I never had any problems. > 2) The sid version of the U-ML kernel (version 2.4.26-3um-1: i386) For the uml kernel i normaly use the latest vanilla kernel from kernel.org. This also works very well.

I've written me a few scripts to create a uml instance from scratch on demand. See this post: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=12719503 > Could you put it somewhere where I could download it? > Are there any good online resources covering building ones own debian > filesystem image? > I am interested to know the most popular "off the self" filesystem > images that people are using. Well, when using a filesystem created by someone you can't be proof if there is a little backdor in there. So creating your own filesystem from scratch is the safest way. Also it is not really difficult. * create file system on a file (or on a directory which is nfs exported) * debootstrap sarge /home/$UMLNAME/rootfs http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian * add tty0 to etc/securetty if first tty is tty0 instead of tty1 * change etc/inittab an make ctrl-alt-del a halt (so you can use uml_console to stop the uml) * add your rootfs to etc/fstab * make ubd devices in dev (./MAKEDEV ubd) * when booting into this new uml just finish installation with base-config Greetings eMHa
