I just got clued in on the full extent of this problem last Thursday and I was just about to put out a call for volunteers. There's nothing really wrong with UML here. The problem is the filesystem. It's compiled for Pentium II (or III, I'm not sure) and contains instructions (cmov) which I think your processor doesn't implement. So, the patch will detect this and panic with a reasonable message. That doesn't help you get UML up and running on that box, of course. For that, you'll need a new filesystem, and I would try the Tom's Root/Boot one. Jeff |
