Thanks for that (it was really needed). However, about the various fixes I = built, there is a lot of that that should go in. Go here: http://web.tiscali.it/no-redirect-tiscali/blaisorblade/linux/archives/UML/2= .6.1-v1/ I've updated all the stuff that was there. You claimed you didn't want some= =20 patches, now I've organized things so they can be easily excluded. Do *not*= =20 use the combo. This are some brief patches descriptions (in the 00-README). C-03 (trivial, removes smplock.h which went away) C-04 (sys-i386/fault.c shouldn't even compile for now, as the exception=20 handling has had a syntactic change) G-01 (one-liner for SELinux build, from M A Young) G-02 (makes /proc/kallsyms work well and cleanups link scripts) H-01 (consider that for PCAP linking; you claim in Makefile comments kbuild= =20 doesn't allow to link -lpcap, that show it's possible). H-02 (when configuration is changed, the whole UML is rebuilt again because= =20 all files depend on uml-config.h which depends on all configuration. Trivia= l=20 fix). Module support fix is trivial, and does not depend on anything controversia= l,=20 until you don't enable CONFIG_MODVERSIONS. So apply the patch. I've also=20 infos (and some code) about fixing the panic you get on startup with it=20 enabled. The patches you mustn't apply from there are the H-03 and H-04, since H-03 = is=20 the USER_OBJ thing and the H-04 depends on it (even if is logically=20 independent). Bye --=20 cat <
