Hi.

Now I have Fedora Core 3, 2.6.11 SKAS3 patched host kernel and 2.6.10
guest kernel installed from hipl-complete.0.1.2.tar.gz using next
steps in hipl-0.1.2/linux/ -folder:

# make mrproper
# make mrproper ARCH=um
# cp ../test/configs/config-2.6.10-1.770_FC3_HIP .config

I have deleted from /net/ipv6/Kconfig -file
select PREEMPT
-line and 
&& X86_PC && REGPARAM=n 
from line:
depends on IPV6 && EXPERIMENTAL && && X86_PC && REGPARAM=n 

# make xconfig ARCH=um
I get plenty of 'trying to assing nonexisting symbol' -messages, but
all necessary options (CONFIG_CLEAN_COMPILE=y, CONFIG_INET=y,
CONFIG_IPV6=y, CONFIG_HIP=m etc.) exist. There is no CONFIG_REGPARAM
-variable in .config.

# make linux ARCH=um
# make modules ARCH=um
# make modules_install ARCH=um

Problems start here. I tried to start UML-HIPL kernel with Fedora Core
3 root filesystem found from Strearn's website:

I copied root_fs.fc-3-base.pristine.20050605.bz2 -file from
http://www.stearns.org/uml-root/ and followed guides from
http://www.stearns.org/uml-root/root_fs.fc-3-base.pristine.20050605.note

# cp -p --sparse=always <( cat root_fs.fc-3-base.pristine.20050605.bz2
| bunzip2 -c - ) root_fs.2005060501
# chmod 644 root_fs.2005060501
I copied mkrootfs/emptyfs.swap.512.bz2 -file from http://www.stearns.org/ 
# cp -p --sparse=always <( cat emptyfs.swap.512.bz2 | bunzip2 -c - ) swap
# chmod 644 swap

# ./linux mem=160M ubd0=cow,root_fs.2005060501 ubd1=swap
root=/dev/ubd/0 con=pty con0=fd:0,fd:1

I get:
...
 ubda: unknown partion table
 ubdb: unknown partion table
Initializing stdio console driver
messages, and UML doesn't start.

I have tried also naming root filesystem as root_fs in folder where
linux -file is, then:
# ./linux
and I get:
...
 ubda: unknown partition table
Initializing stdio console driver

Have I missed or done some point wrong? People have had these or this
kind of messages in UML-users mailing list, but I can't find out
solution. What root filesystems have people used with HIPL and UML or
have you build your own?

Thank you for help!
