If you use a different architecture you will need to get kernel sources If you use a different architecture you will need to read
from www.kernel.org which preferably match the kernel version used by http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/arch-port.html.
gbootroot - this can be found in the Changes file - and then a matching

The helper uml_* tools need to be checked out from cvs and compiled with make:
(Instructions for cvs at http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=429.)
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/user-mode-linux login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/user-mode-linux co tools
cd tools/mconsole; make;
cd ../uml_net; make; chown 0:0 uml_net; chmod 4755 uml_net;
cd ../uml_router; make;
cd ../uml_moo; make;
Put the uml kernel in the directory cited above with the same names. When
you run gbootroot's Makefile everything will be put in the proper places.
Note: Please send the user-mode-linux-devel list and me your experiences if
you successfully get another architecture working so they can be shared with
the community.
