[uml-user] Slackware-current won't run UML

[Robert S <rob...@em...>]

I've managed to run user-mode linux under 2.6.x in the past on slackware
9.1.  I have just upgraded to the latest -current tree complete with udev. 
Now when I try to run user-mode linux I get the following in the xterm
console:

        xterm: Can't execvp port-helper: No such file or directory

Here is my script that starts uml:

        /home/robert/UML/linux-2.6.1 \
            ubd0=/home/robert/UML/root_fs_debian \
            devfs=nomount \
            con1=xterm con2=null con3=null con4=null con5=null con6=null $*

Can anybody help?

If it is of any help, this is what I get in the original terminal window:
