I just realized that in my previous message with all the output (of the latest kernel download not booting), I failed to specify hardware, distro, etc.
Those are: Pentium III 800 MHz running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn i386 with host kernel 2.6.20-15-server (package install from ubuntu) and uml kernel 2.6.21.2-am1 (32 bit version downloaded from Antoine's site uml.nagafix.co.uk). Does the host kernel version need to be more recent than the uml kernel version? 2.6.18-bb1 runs fine on the guest for most things, but then I get the hostfs lockup.
