Using the latest UML code in 2.6.x BitKeeper (2.6.9-rc1-bk), things are looking pretty darn good. I was able to boot a Fedora Core userland with "init=/bin/sh", set up networking easily [uml_net helper worked], and ssh into my virtual host. To problems, one major and two minor: (major) 1) Using standard Fedora Core SysvInit, rc.sysinit will proceed to completion, then the userland boot halts. ps shows the virtual host's /sbin/init process in constant run state, chewing CPU time like mad. Didn't investigate further, simply booted with init=/bin/sh and moved on. (minor) 2) The Makefiles appear to add "-um1" to the kernel version for some reason, and IMHO violates the Principle of Least Surprise. This breaks several of my scripts :( 3) The arch/um build is verbose, showing each gcc command line as it is executed. This is incorrect when KBUILD_VERBOSE or similar setting are not enabled. As a result, the arch/um is verbose, but the rest is not, by default. Overall I am really impressed. Like other arches in the Linux kernel, it is IMO very important to be able to work "out of the box", without patches.
