Well, I tried a few different things, and /usr/local/bin/linux always exits quickly with a "Segmentation fault". This is 2.4.18-r1. Are there any special gotchas that aren't mentioned in the guide. The only changes I made to the default kernel config were to add modular ext3 support and remove load devfs at boot time, and added Virtual memory support. I did do the ARCH=um, but no luck. I will try recreating my file systems next, but if you have any hints, I would appreciate it.
I think we can close this one.
Yeah, we can close it. I will try uml again some time and see if the current incarnation works.
