So, activate it. By default it's off. Clear? - if you instead see such messages: /usr/src/uml-2.4.22-4um/arch/um/include/os.h:41: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union it's for a known bug showing up on some systems(depends on changes in system headers from glibc, showing up for instance on my Mdk9.1) which is already being fixed. For now wait next patch or use 2.4.22-3um. The problem that you, Frank Laub, had(I'm also answering to you) it's the second one. By the way, what are your distro and glibc versions? I'm posting this message because there are already enough people asking for this problems. -- cat <
