UML now compiles on 2.6.17-rc4-mm3, but it fails to boot:

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.


Jeff Dike reported this one yesterday; it's fixed in my git tree.

Thanks!
