Ah good.  :)

Thank you.

I've built the host kernel now, and booted from it just fine.  (SKAS
is in there somewhere).  I am now following this to build the guest
kernel:

http://uml.jfdi.org/uml/Wiki.jsp?page=BuildingUML

In the same sources as the host kernel, I ran the following commands:

% make menuconfig ARCH=um
% m make oldconfig ARCH=um
% make linux ARCH=um

That all went well, and I do now have a "linux" and "vmlinux" binary
in the top level sources.  Whilst that was compiling I downloaded
BusyBox from here (http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/).  However when I ran the
following command:

linux-2.6.25% ./linux udb0=~/tmp/BusyBox-1.5.0-x86-root_fs

I get the following "error":

Locating the top of the address space ... Address 0x0 no good?

Now, I've googled for "Address 0x0 no good" and get one hit to a
Chinese website -- so I assuming I have neglected to do something, but
what?  I hope it's nothing too idiotic on my part, hehe.

Thanks once again in advance,

David.
