Description Thornton Prime 2002-06-15 22:09:05 UTC
Please include UML. http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net

I see that the Kernel SPEC file includes support for compiling a UML binary,
though it is still incomplete, and we lack the distribution of the UML-utilities.

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2002-06-16 09:21:50 UTC
uhmmmm

kernel-uml-2.4.18-5.49.i686.rpm

is there already....the tools not yet indeed, though

Comment 2 Thornton Prime 2002-07-01 16:07:18 UTC
I haven't been able to get the UML build to work at all. It appears to boot up
fine, but never enters init. No error. It just hangs.

Comment 3 Pete Zaitcev 2002-08-12 23:27:49 UTC
The -31 version which went with Limbo would hang until
you hit a key in the console. I talked to Jeff and he
said it looks like a typical symptom of UML conflicting with O(1),
and pointed me to the forward_sigio() in 2.5. However,
when I updated our to tree to -48, I could not reproduce
the hang anymore, so I left it stock. If it keeps showing up,
we may try that fix.


Comment 4 Thornton Prime 2003-06-27 23:36:06 UTC
I know UML was in 8, pulled from 9 and doesn't look like it will make it into
Cambridge, but I'd like  to leave it open as a RFE ...

UML is fairly important to those of us in the hosting world.

Comment 5 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:39:40 UTC
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
