I'm using SuSE 9.0 with all the kernel source packages and module packages installed. I can get cloned configuration to compile just fine but errors are numerous when I use "ARCH=um"
No real success here on 8.2 either. I used kernel-source-um-2.4.21-121 from Mantel's directory and had to strip down configuration significantly to make it compile without errors. But... The self-compiled uml kernel hangs on booting root file system generated using uml-install-suse. It boots, on the other hand, a RedHat7.2 root filesystem from user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net. Anyway, I gave up for the moment on self-compiled kernel.
If this is correct how do I generate the kernel-source-um.i586.rpm or am I missing something else to build the UML binaries as SuSE has?
I also discovered then this page: http://www.suse.com/~kraxel/uml/howto.html, downloaded Gerd's kernel (2.4.20) and has had no problem with my SuSE root filesystem. It boots successfully, networking works, YOU updates work. HTH, -Kastus
