[uml-user] UML on RH9

[S M. <sm...@vs...>]

I'm new to UML. Please be gentle if I'm wrong. I do not seem to be able
to find mailing list archives. Could not search them hence. FAQ does not
seem to list my problem either.

I've downloaded the linux 2.4.19-5um0-386.rpm and installed the same. I
also have the root_fs. I installed the rpm and tried giving the command
linux in the same directory where I had root_fs. The kernel crashed with
a panic error.

My system:
Pentium 4 (1.5 ghz)/ 256MB RAM/ RH9 (2.4.20-8 kernel)

I did not install any patches or recompile my host kernel as the site
said it is not neccesary.

Can I know what I've not done right leading to this crash?
