You can find out about it at user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net. There you will get better answers. Also if you have read that page, you'd find that: These are the 2.6 patches, for 2.6 kernels earlier than 2.6.9; starting from that version, an up-to-date UML is included in the kernel itself, so you might probably use an unpatched 2.6 kernel to build UML. and also: If you need to get some later bugfixes / UML patches for 2.6.9 and later kernels, you can check out on the home page of Paolo Giarrusso, also known as Blaisorblade: http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade/ (and that you will find the appropriate SKAS patch on that page too - while the guest part was included in mainline, the host part was NOT). -- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@xxxxxx>
