I've been working on 2.4 so far.  I'm not running 2.6 on any machine at
all ATM, and from the sounds of this mailing list, you can't run a 2.6
UML on a 2.4 host?  Also, the Alpha is running Debian woody at the
moment, and I'm not sure how well that copes with a 2.6 kernel.

But thanks for the advice, and I will look at porting 2.6 since it would
probably be less painful in the long run.
