Yesterday I was working on it. I've put the code together, as I did last time, now it's only time to debug it. However the two problems are:
1) I don't use a 64-bit arch normally (I have a ugly Fedora AMD64 installed). 2) when I did it last time, UML didn't boot and nothing in the patch made me understood what was wrong. I hope next week I can publish my version, even if I don't solve the problem, so that eventually somebody will be able to fix it. However, notice that what we can currently give is a port to run 32-bit UMLs. Which is very nice, but not everything. On the host side, the 64-bit version is probably ready and easier to debug than the 32-bit emulation. The problem for 64-bit UMLs is that, to my knowledge, they must still get support for 64-bit SKAS. It shouldn't be hard, I hope. -- 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.
