(See info about skas0 mode) Excuse me but in my previous e-mail I gave you not the right URL. It was about guest kernel patching.

I don't think skas3 patch may cause this kind of problems. It seems there are some other trouble in filesystem support in the guest kernel. But, excuse me, only to make me understand... If I did understand correctly you 1) applied SKAS3 patch to your Linux HOST kernel (the real kernel, that one you always boot when you power on your PC) 2) applied uml patch to your uml sources (did you?) 3) tried to boot a kernel. Here I didn't understand if you tried to boot the host or the guest kernel. Error messages you wrote before, seems to be coming from the uml kernel boot. In that case, try to setup /etc/fstab correctly in your UML filesystem. That kind of problems may also be caused by a wrong kernel compilation, e.g. you didn't include ext3 filesystem support as built in.
