UML now compiles on 2.6.17-rc4-mm3, but it fails to boot:
[...]
kinit: do_mounts
kinit: name_to_dev_t(98:0) = dev(0,0)
kinit: root_dev = dev(0,0)
kinit: trying to mount /dev/root on /root with type ext3
kinit: Cannot open root device dev(0,0)
[...]
Adding 'root=ubda' to the command line cures it.

hpa fixed this yesterday. Something in klibc didn't support decimal
mm:nn device specifications.
