I'm the gentoo usermode-sources maintainer, and I run UML almost exclusively on amd64. I have, at any given time, from 4 to 20 UMLs running on my main dev box, most of them 32-bit, and I haven't had any stability problems. Is your RAM OK? Which kernels do you have inside and outside? How are you trying to build the 32-bit UMLs? Daniel
