[uml-devel] 2.2 UML Patch

[Gregory B. <da...@ja...>]

I know this has been asked before, but I'm not finding a definitive
answer to my question, and was just wondering if anyone could share some
light.

Thanks to David Coulson, I have seen the light of UML and am starting to
get up to speed with it. In short it rocks...

One of the things that I am working on is taking Sun/Cobalt's RAQ
operating systems and trying to get them to run under UML. The Raq4 OS, is
based on a 2.2 kernel (no devfs) and has a variety of other things that
make it difficult, if not impractical to run the system under a 2.4 kernel
and maintain any level of compatibility. So, my question is wether or not
there actually IS a working, maintained UML patch for the 2.2 series
architecture.

I ask because I do a lot of development work on the Cobalt stuff, and have
the software running beautifully in Vmware. I even have it semi functional
in a 2.4 UML.

My goal is to release a Raq4 Filesystem (unless it violates some sort of
licensing from Sun) to the UML community.

If the answer is "no, 2.2 is bad, go away" then my other option is to take
the Raq550 software, which is based on the 2.4 kernel and start hacking
away at that to get it working with UML. This should be trivial, and most
likely will be a path that I go down anyways because it is a simple and
straightforward task.

In any case, you guys have done a great job with this! It opens up the
doors to a lot of different possibilities! :)
