Hello ! actually, i didn`t get replies to 2 former emails to lelik, so this was the reason the give it a ry for myself, though.(want to learn) i actually was able to compile a user-mode-linux kernel with 0.2.6 version of vblade-kernel driver builtin (added some Kconfig stuff). I did a "make allnoconfig", put CONFIG_KERNEL_VBLADE=y inside and had a successful compile. At least the UML kernel booted and after adding some printk, i could see the driver initializing. I also could compile a i386 kernel successfully and cat vmlinux|strings|grep vblade told me, that there was that driver inside. unfortunately, something seems to have broken now - very strange. it worked and now i`m not able to reproduce. it seems to fail at the linker stage. tried with 2.6.13 and 2.6.15. does anybody know, where to look ? thank you! roland vmhost:/usr/src/linux # make CHK include/linux/version.h make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
