I used to run with red-hat 4.5 so this should work. 64 bit, right? >From passed experience I've seen that UML will only work if I first do "make ARCH=um defconfig" and then manually enable any needed options with make xconfig. other wise it breaks in all kind of ways. Even doing a make oldconfig on a good uml config file from older kernel will not work. Try to do defconfig and see if it loads at all. How do you compile and run the out-of-tree module or is it one of the built in modules?
