[coLinux-users] Running User Mode Linux under CoLinux

[Turner, D. <DT...@nd...>]

Hello,

  As weird as it can be, I'm currently trying to run User Mode Linux
  under CoLinux. My attempts have failed so far, mainly because the
  kernel boot will lock up in "calibrating delay loop..."
  (this is easy to test, just launch any UML kernel to see this, on =
debian,
   this is as easy as typing "apt-get install user-mode-linux; linux")

  I have read the code responsible for this message in the linux source
  code, and couldn't find something that could be easily fixed (at least
  for a semi-novice like me when it comes to kernel things).

  I'm thus writing to the list to know:

  - wether this whole thing is possible or not ?
    I suspect there may be additionnal roadblocks in the boot process
    that could prevent this from hapenning


  - is it possible to fix something in coLinux (or the UML sources) to
    bypass this specific problem. I'd be happy to do that myself, but =
I'd
    need directions.

  - in the event where things work as expected ? Could colinux support
    the skas and /dev/anon modes of UML. Again, I'd be happy to help but
    would need some directions.

  Voil=E0, that's all, and it's not a priority for me at the moment, but
  I hope someone will be able to answer some of these questions.


And thanks again for a _wonderful_ project :-)
