List-Id: The user-mode Linux development list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: user-mode-linux-devel-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: user-mode-linux-devel-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net To: user-mode-linux-devel@lists.sourceforge.net 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...
