[User-mode-linux-user] Two milestones

[Jeff D. <jd...@ka...>]

I finally put together a decent system (Slackware with a, ap, d, and e (base 
system, non-X apps, development stuff, and emacs)) and gave the kernel a 
workout.

It accomplished two things:
	a kernel build, and even more impressively
	it runs emacs :-)

Caveat:
	The successful kernel build was about the fourth attempt.  The first failed 
because it ran out of memory; that problem seemed to disappear after I closed 
a trivial memory leak.  The next two hung for reasons I don't understand.  The 
fourth succeeded.

The kernel was a generic i386 kernel, not itself.

Trivia of the day:
	a kernel build executes a little more than a million system calls.

One more note:
	It did a fair amount of fscking, with that fsck panic not showing up, so I'm 
reasonably hopeful that it's gone.
