What is the current status of UML for 2.6? As usable as the 2.4 (barring
generic kernel issues) or is there areas still neeed to be looked into for
the UML port to 2.6?

Any news on the possibility of having more of UML merged into the 2.6 
tree? Would be a pity if the release contains a UML architecture which is 
not working well..

Regards
Henrik

Generally, yes, but...

... I've fallen behind on some areas, like
	modules
	hugetlbfs
	networking doesn't work for some reason
	vsyscalls and sysenter
	and probably a few other things which aren't coming to mind

Linus isn't taking my patches.  I'll give him one more try, then see if I
can get them in through akpm.

Greetings,

I got networking going (at least for the switch daemon) by commenting out 
dev->hard_header = uml_net_hard_header;
in eth_configure. Might or might not be 'right', but it works anyway.

G'day,
sjames

I also got rid of the other do-nothing procedures in that chunk of code.
The 2.6 UML will have a working network in the next release.
