No. ;-) I would advise to stay away from 2.6.31 and 2.6.32 for UML. Too much has been changing in mainstream with regard to interfaces and bugfixing for block handling operations. Also ext4 support is buggy. 2.6.33 however is working fine for me, also the final public release version. I don't need additional patching as to the patch I sent earlier. I use a static build, and compile on ubuntu lucid x64. Although the patch may compile with earlier kernel versions, it probably will not be adequate. I encountered the following restrictions: - Loading of modules does not (always?) work if guest has e.g. more than 512 MB memory. This has to do with the memory addressing, loading of modules in memory, x64_86 and high mem support. Work around is just to compile in the required modules. You will need to compile in general dynamic module loading support however, to prevent OS level errors. - Nested uml does not work. -Janjaap ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
