Ok, are you able to figure out a way to copy the whole binary (+ libs) to the VM file and remap it from the file to arbitrary address spaces? This is why in TT mode UML is statically linked, it's done so that we must not understand where libraries are located and remap them, too. I don't think there is a clean way (other than parsing /proc/self/maps, but that is a horrible kludge). > If I could dictate the host kernel > environment people run my stuff under, I wouldn't need UML in the first > place. > Any idea when SKAS0 might be ready for testing? You can already test it I guess, but probably it's not for production yet. I (Wildly) guess a month could be enough, maybe... however for now you can do some testing in SKAS mode (the setup inside UML is not different). -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
