Unfortunately that was the first thing I tried: the 2.6.13 kernel wrote the same header that uml_mkcow did, then complained that the size was wrong in the header it had just written. It looks like the provided combination of kernel and utilities is not going to be useable; either the kernel has to be repatched or the utilities have to be sabotaged. I'm having a lot of trouble to figure out just which patch SuSE used. That's why I mentioned printing out a patch title when the UML boots, separately for the host and the guest, in case of different versions. James F.
