I'm not particularly surprised it doesn't work, that option tends to break a lot of things. However, I'm unable to find anything that claims it actually doesn't work. Are you using usermode-sources for your UML kernel? If not, could you try that? I tried the following 4 versions for the UML kernel : tfoerste@n22 ~/workspace $ l /usr/local/bin/linux-2.6.1* /usr/local/bin/linux-2.6.15-usermode-r1 /usr/local/bin/linux-2.6.16-usermode /usr/local/bin/linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r6 /usr/local/bin/linux-2.6.16-usermode-r1 Always the same behaviour, my host kernel is currently: Linux n22 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 #6 Mon May 29 14:06:48 CEST 2006 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1700MHz GNU/Linux I reached this bug while changing my kernel options to better fit my system (1 GB RAM, so I decide to not use the 4GB or the 64 GB config option and in addition I tried a different 3GB/1GB spitting) I believe that the 3G OPT split doesn't work with UML. UML has a special option to work eith 2G/2G, but not with any of the other optional splits. This should probably be fixed upstream. |
