[uml-devel] What is the most up to date, least crashing kernel+patch?

I would like 2.6.1 as a UML kernel along with support for >512 UML ram 
and preferrably modules.  What is the best I can get right now?

I'm running Gerd/SuSE's 2.6.0-test9, but I'm having severe problems with 
periodic crashes.  These appear to be preceded by a 'do_io' error on 
/dev/hdb, but I've bumped all ulimits to large levels, including max 
files (100000).  (There seems to be conflicting notes about whether I 
need a modified glibc or headers updated and the host kernel 
recompiled.)  The system runs well for a while and then just disappears.

I've had trouble compiling with some of the recent 2.6.0/2.6.1 patches 
and I need clarification.

I have noticed that paging an executable (like Python) in takes much 
more time that it would natively and that large amounts of disk I/O is 
slow.  Where is the bottleneck for this and what can be done about it?  
(I realized that the virtual layering is going to cost some.)

Thanks
