I'm using UML to debug kernel, And recently, some structures started do appear as . Do any of yoy know what does it means ? Am I doing something wrong ? 01:02 -!- td-work [~td-work@ip68-99-19-201.om.om.cox.net] has joined #uml 01:03 < td-work> hi 01:04 < td-work> question: What is the difference/benefits of installing the 'guest OS' inside of UML versus mounting it as an image from another installation? 01:18 -!- td-work [~td-work@ip68-99-19-201.om.om.cox.net] has quit [] 01:19 < caker> evening 01:45 < caker> When booting UML with an initrd, is the initrd file you specify supposed to be on the host, or inside the UML's filesystem? 01:46 < ElectricElf> caker: I'd think it would be in the host... 01:46 < ElectricElf> (Just guessing though, based on what I think would be sane... :) 01:46 < caker> ElectricElf: Thought so -- makes the most sense, since it's "initial" .. 02:43 -!- HIghoS [highos@highos.com] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 02:44 -!- HIghoS [highos@66.11.168.42] has joined #uml 03:44 -!- frediz [~frediz@ALyon-209-1-9-238.w193-251.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #uml 04:25 -!- attriel [1000@dsl093-055-216.blt1.dsl.speakeasy.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 501 seconds] 04:25 -!- Snow-Man [~sfrost@snowman.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 501 seconds] 04:57 -!- Snow-Man [~sfrost@snowman.net] has joined #uml 07:32 -!- mistral [mistral@212.159.71.212] has joined #uml 07:46 -!- attriel [1000@dsl093-055-216.blt1.dsl.speakeasy.net] has joined #uml 07:53 -!- mistral [mistral@212.159.71.212] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 07:54 -!- mistral [mistral@jstevenson.plus.com] has joined #uml 10:21 < glommer> I cannot compile UML under kernel 2.6 ( gcc 3.2 ) It always says that there's a syntatical error... But, it's everything ok with the syntax. Anyone know why ? 10:40 < green> have you applied the uml patch? 10:43 < glommer> kernel 2.6 already has UML in it's main tree, right ? 10:44 < glommer> I typed make xconfig ARCH=um, And got UML specific options. asm-um is there either too 10:46 < green> no, what's in tree is out of date. you need the patch 10:47 < glommer> Ahhh, right... I'll need a patch for the test4 specifically 10:47 < glommer> ? 10:49 < yarihm> is user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net down? 10:50 < glommer> I think it is... 10:50 < glommer> I'm trying to load it from here too 10:50 < yarihm> i need access to the how-to because i don't know how to compile ... there seems to be some flag ARCH=um that needs to be set 10:51 < yarihm> make ARCH=um menuconfig and that's it? or do i need the ARCH=um for all later steps too? 10:51 < glommer> green: Do you have the patch for 2.6 series ?? 10:51 < glommer> yarihm: Yeah, you'll need 10:51 < glommer> the further step should be something like make linux ARCH=um 10:52 < yarihm> glommer: you know maybe too how to integrate that with debian's make-kpkg? 10:52 < glommer> No, I do not use debian :) 10:53 < green> glommer: patch is on the user-mode-linux.sf.net download's page, just as usual 10:53 < glommer> green: But the site is not loading 10:53 < green> glommer: latest patch is for -test3, I think 10:54 < green> glommer: hm, then check usermodelinux.org 10:54 < glommer> it is maybe out. So, if you had it with you, I would not need to wait for it to come back :) 10:54 < glommer> green: There's no patch for 2.6 there 10:54 < glommer> The last is 2.5.69 10:54 < green> hm. I do not track Jeff's patches very closely, so I do not have his patches. 10:55 < green> I maintain my own patchset instead 10:55 < glommer> And... do you have something for 2.6 in your patchset ? ;) 10:56 < green> yes, but my patchset is hugely poluted by reiser4 stuff. If you do not afraid of ant and you have bitkeeper, you can pull from my tree at bk://namesys.com/bk/reiser4-linux-2.5 10:56 < green> s/ant/it/ 10:57 < yarihm> uh ... what's skas? 10:57 < yarihm> (this must be a noob question but i have no access to the doku right now since the site doesn't load here) 11:00 < green> skas is special uml mode with "Separete Kernel Address Space", improves speed and stuff like that 11:07 < yarihm> i guess i gonna need that :) 11:09 < green> you will need special patch to the host kernel then 11:12 < yarihm> hmm ... when i do a make menuconfig ARCH=um i can't see any smp-option any more ... 11:12 < yarihm> (but the machine is an SMP-host, i'd like to have that configured ;)) 11:27 < green> there should be smp, but smp is unsupported in skas mode yet. also smp is somewhat low in uml 11:53 < yarihm> make bzImage ARCH=um doesn't work because of the ARCH-flag ... what do i have to use then? (i'm terribly sorry to bother you guys with all these questions that were answered in howto but i can't access it :( 11:53 < yarihm> i made make menuconfig ARCH=um, then make dep ARCH=um, make clean ARCH=um ... now? 11:57 < green> make ARCH=um linux wil build 'linux' binary that you can run later on 12:11 < yarihm> i'm trying to compile the host's kernel ... 12:12 < yarihm> anything special i need to do there? i mean the kernel that will boot the system from which i intend to start the virtual linuxes 12:13 < yarihm> ah, the site is up again, i'll check the howto 12:41 < yarihm> slowly i get the picture ... there's no need to do something special on the host-os? 12:43 < green> only if you do not want the SKAS mode 12:45 < yarihm> gnn ... ok, given i want the SKAS mode, what to do then? there's nothing about it in the howto (which seems pretty old, 2.4.0 was actual then) from what i can see 12:47 < green> you need to apply skas3 patch to your host kernel 12:47 < green> and enable /proc/mm support in there 12:48 < yarihm> ah ... 12:59 -!- solarce [~solarce@209-16-139-4.cortland.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] 13:09 -!- solarce [~solarce@209-16-139-4.cortland.com] has joined #uml 14:03 -!- kfrench [~kfrench@pcp701781pcs.bowie01.md.comcast.net] has joined #uml 14:14 -!- frediz [~frediz@ALyon-209-1-9-238.w193-251.abo.wanadoo.fr] has quit [Quit: Pw3t] 15:49 -!- frediz [~frediz@ALyon-209-1-2-184.w193-253.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #uml 16:33 -!- crusier [~chatzilla@216.220.26.170] has joined #uml 16:38 -!- crusier [~chatzilla@216.220.26.170] has quit [Quit: ChatZilla 0.8.23 [Mozilla rv:1.3/20030312]] 17:02 -!- KFrench_ [~chatzilla@68.50.83.1] has joined #uml 17:19 -!- kfrench [~kfrench@pcp701781pcs.bowie01.md.comcast.net] has quit [Quit: Client Exiting] 17:27 -!- frediz_ [~frediz@ALyon-209-1-29-252.w81-248.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #uml 17:29 -!- frediz [~frediz@ALyon-209-1-2-184.w193-253.abo.wanadoo.fr] has quit [Ping timeout: 480 seconds] 17:35 -!- radical [~kernet@210.7.75.194] has joined #uml 18:44 -!- radical [~kernet@210.7.75.194] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 18:46 -!- frediz_ [~frediz@ALyon-209-1-29-252.w81-248.abo.wanadoo.fr] has quit [Quit: Pw3t] 19:08 -!- david [~d@vidcoulson.com] has joined #uml 20:54 -!- lah [~z@AVATAR.internet.ufg.ac.at] has quit [Ping timeout: 501 seconds] 20:56 -!- lah [~z@AVATAR.internet.ufg.ac.at] has joined #uml 21:20 -!- coryb [~cory@24.124.36.198] has quit [Quit: bye] 21:25 -!- glommer [~glauber@200.158.192.49] has quit [Quit: Client exiting] 21:28 -!- j0s3ph3n [~lara_sk@65.208.20.232] has joined #uml 23:09 -!- coryb [~cory@ip68-102-136-138.ks.ok.cox.net] has joined #uml 23:26 -!- coryb [~cory@ip68-102-136-138.ks.ok.cox.net] has quit [Quit: leaving] --- Log closed Sun Aug 24 00:00:00 2003
