[uml-devel] kernel module support broken on x86-64?

[juergen.kadidlo@exasol.com]

Hi!

 I've compiled an UML kernel based on 2.6.25 but loading kernel modules 
seems to be broken. No matter which module I try to load the output 
looks similar to this:

 overflow in relocation type 11 val 80836d41
'loop' likely not compiled with -mcmodel=kernel

After searching for a while I found some threads from 2006 discussing 
this issue, e.g.:
http://www.mail-archive.com/user-mode-linux-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg03693.html
and
http://marc.info/?l=user-mode-linux-devel&m=115125101012707&w=2

As Andi Kleen has mentioned in a mail from the first thread, simply 
appending "-mcmodel=kernel" to the KBUILD_CFLAGS does not work (I tried 
it anyway and can confirm his statement ;)

Since I could not find any solution I've decided to write this mail and 
ask about the current state of this issue and of course for a solution! 
I simply don't want to believe that there is no loadable module support 
for UML in 2008...

Regards
JK
