Seems to work.

penberg@ubuntu:~/src/linux/2.6$ ./linux ubd0=/home/penberg/uml-debian/root_fs_woody single

ubuntu:~# time sleep 1

real    0m1.037s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s
ubuntu:~# time sleep 2

real    0m2.029s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s
ubuntu:~# time sleep 4

real    0m4.029s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

penberg@ubuntu:~/src/linux/2.6$ ls -l /usr/lib/uml/
total 12
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10772 2006-07-22 11:07 port-helper
