Re: [uml-user] hostfs broken?

[Jonas M. <Jon...@al...>]

Sadly, I can't get anything more recent to run.  This might be a part of
a broader issue, but most of the precompiled binaries that I download
off of your site wont work.  I'll admit I may not have tried them all,
but the most recent one will not boot a vm at all on that host.  I've
found that only a very small percentage of the ones on your and
blaisorblade's sites seem to work at all.  I'd be happy to help you
troubleshoot them...

I suppose I could compile my own, but to be honest, I'd rather let
someone with more experience choosing uml appropriate kernel options do
that.  Is there any possibility I might get more luck using your kernel
option selections on my own compilation?
