UML helps the "boot/crash/reboot" cycle (and that sort of debugging was in fact one of the early design goals of IBM's CP/67 and VM/370 systems). but it doesn't help the fact that the infrastructure provided to kernel functions is vastly different than the glibc-based infrastructure available in userspace.... --==_Exmh_804014301P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFAvPEncC3lWbTT17ARAij3AKCJ0R1VLtse4QxbYiFs9hiFdj4rDgCeKydR /1dtzRScB9uADGphHkfPhQ0= =4j4X -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_804014301P-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
