Yeah that does make sense now I took a closer look. Now that I got
passed that problem I'm running into a problem with running UML. I must
have fubar'ed something badly here since I have run UML greatly a week
or so ago.

I'm plaged by:

NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
Initializing stdio console driver
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Child 1310 exited with signal 11

just before it exits a ps ax showed:
 1310 pts/3    T      0:00 ./linux [(kernel thread)]    

I'm going to try to run a test11 kernel before i try to run the test11
UML kernel. That's how I got things to work nicely before. The only
concern with that is that a test11 kernel makes my Linux complete freeze
up when a lengthy data stream occurs. Take this in the broad sense.
Copying a large directory or unpacking a large tarball (such as a kernel
tree) makes Linux hang, sometimes. Booting the system, starting X and
KDE2 doesn't appear to be a problem. Not sure where that particular
problem came from. Anyways, that's not for this list but for the kernel
list.

My day's up. I'm going to run that test11 kernel and re-read the UML faq
again, along with some other UML docs. i get the feeling that I missed
or fubar'ed a step or two.

Btw, that "Chil exited" problem also appears when I run:
./linux init=/bin/bash-statci

yes that bash-static is indeed statically linked so it should run.
Debugging is fun.
