Hi!

I've compiled an UML kernel based on 2.6.25 but loading kernel modules seems to be broken. No matter which module I try to load the output looks similar to this:

overflow in relocation type 11 val 80836d41
'loop' likely not compiled with -mcmodel=kernel

After searching for a while I found some threads from 2006 discussing this issue, e.g.:
http://www.mail-archive.com/user-mode-linux-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg03693.html
and
http://marc.info/?l=user-mode-linux-devel&m=115125101012707&w=2

As Andi Kleen has mentioned in a mail from the first thread, simply appending "-mcmodel=kernel" to the KBUILD_CFLAGS does not work (I tried it anyway and can confirm his statement ;)

Since I could not find any solution I've decided to write this mail and ask about the current state of this issue and of course for a solution! I simply don't want to believe that there is no loadable module support for UML in 2008...

Every thing is fine down here. What host Kernel-gcc-glibc / uml-gcc-glibc
are you using?

I'm using out-of-tree modules with uml for every kernel since 2.6.19.
I have both Host and UML as x86_64 on FC7 with gcc 4.1.2

I'm glad to here that the bug has been fixed. Anyway, it does not work with my configuration:

- CentOS 5.1 as host system and UML root fs
- Kernel 2.6.25.4 (vanilla, but config taken from the CentOS kernel)
- GCC 4.1.2
- GLIBC 2.5
