    I'm using SuSE 9.0 with all the kernel source packages and module
    packages installed. I can get cloned configuration to compile just fine
    but errors are numerous when I use "ARCH=um"

    I've started by trying to compile a clone of the UML kernel from the
    host-k_um-2.4.21.99 using:

    linux --showconfig > .config

    in /usr/src/linux

    then I do "make dep ARCH=um;make modules ARCH=um"

    the make dep runs flawlessly but make modules or make linux fails very
    quickly.

    The kernel build howto from Andreas Gruenbacher (October 2003) suggests
    that kernel-source-um.i586.rpm can be generated from
    kernel-souce.src.rpm and the source tree will be placed under
    /usr/src/linux-um.

    If this is correct how do I generate the kernel-source-um.i586.rpm or am
    I missing something else to build the UML binaries as SuSE has?

    Thank you,

    Chip Schweiss
