[uml-user] Problems compiling user mode linux kernel

2006-09-26 Thread Lee Cartwright
Hi all, I've got a session of user mode linux up and running using the pre-compiled binaries so thought I would have a go at building my own uml. Hopefully this will help me to understand uml a bit more. I have downloaded the 2.6.18 kernel from kernel.org and applied the -mm patch (Which I bel

[uml-user] uml under FC5 ?

2006-09-26 Thread Julian Bradfield
I am in urgent need (i.e. I'm supposed to issue my practical exercise next week ;-) of a UML that works under FC5 on i386. Last year I used 2.4.27 under FC3, but this no longer compiles, failing at link-edit with the BINFMT assertion error in elf.c I've tried 2.6.18, but if CONFIG_MODE_TT is set,

Hi Mike, Ah, so it is TLS on the host that's causing the problem, quite odd. The problem I have is that glibc 2.4 is "nptlonly" and so I just can't disable TLS... I'm really stuck. I guess I could try a chroot with glibc 2.3 and build static kernels in there, but IIRC when I tried this it didn't s

Hi Antoine, I disabled tls on the host and that solved the problem. Thanks for the quick response! I'm trying to get OpenVPN running in a UML environment with tunnels between several UML guests, so I'm sure I'll have some more questions. -mike -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

2006-09-26 Thread Mike Horn
Title: Character map issue - vi Hi, I'm now able to log into my UML guest system (thanks!), but when I use vi within the guest I can't edit properly, it appears that there is some character mapping issue.  Basically, I can't enter insert mode and then I can't use :q! to close the vi sessio

Hi Jeff, For me I had the issue with a filesystem created with a vanilla FC5 x86 (32 bit) distro that I downloaded last week. Let me know if there is some debugging information I can provide to help identify the issue. -mike -Original Message- From: Jeff Dike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, I just came across these performance specs from the Xen project (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/performance.html) where it showed UML performing poorly in anything I/O related in comparison to Zen (although it performed well in CPU intensive tasks). These benchmarks a
