[uml-user] Segmentation Fault

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Hi All

I am having problems with LKM compiled for UML. I am porting some drivers
from our box to our simulation based on UML. But I am having segmentation
faults or memory corruptions which by gdb always looks  at the same place.
So I wanted to know if my problem is because the modules have been compiled
incorrectly or it is something in my module itself or my kernel is missing
something at the config. My guest kernel is 2.6.24.3 and the host, I am
trying are 2.6.9-34.ELsmp and the other host is 2.6.24-19-generic. I am
working with SKAS0 as for now so I do not have patch neither the guest,
neither the host. The other thing is that the linux has been compiled with
the initramfs embeded on the image. Anexing boot up and then the problem.

Thanks

David Rodriguez

PS. loadmodule is an script that is doing
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/module <args> || exit 1
