user-mode-linux (2.6.17-1um-2) unstable; urgency=low The Linux 2.6 kernel (and therefore the user-mode-linux kernel package) is significantly changed since the 2.4 series, some major issues you should be aware of: - DEVFS has been dropped upstream and is unsupported by this package, you should either install udev (if possible) or create a static /dev in your rootfs images if you relied on DEVFS before. - Kernel module loading changed and now the module-init-tools is needed in place of modutils. - UML 2.6.17 supports the new NTPL, an host kernel that supports it is necessary. -- Mattia Dongili Fri, 11 Aug 2006 12:18:20 +0200
