UML on PPC? state of the art
Hi all,
does anyone know if the porting of UML on PPC has still been staled? or anyone has started working on?
My Apple Powerbook is crying! ((:-((
I found something about the porting on Chris Emerson's home page, but it is staled sice july 2001!
Let me know.
Thank you in advance

Nobody is working on the PPC port. If someone wants to start helping, we will welcome him. Currently, the interest in UML is increasing, new developers come in, and after a lot of time, a new architecture (x86_64) is being supported. Also we've seen messages from people starting work to port UML even to ARM machines(!). No actual code, yet, so I suppose they stopped.
However, nobody removed the old code from UML. It has even been accepted in the 2.6 kernel, even if it is completely broken.
If you can bring up this issue on any place where someone could pick it up, you could find someone helping.
Bye

The [email protected] is probably a good place to get help on the ppc64 stuff. Those guys know ppc so I'm guessing that asking about ppc32 stuff is cool as well.
I'd be willing to test UML on PPC64 if work commences, I have access to some IBM Power[345] machines. I'd love to help in development, but I'm pretty busy right now, so I'll just volunteer to test it.

That'd be http://www.nosreme.org/projects/umlppc/ (it used to be

I'm hoping to do a bit more work on it soon. It's tricky with a full-time day job and a wife who things (probably rightly) I should be doing more useful things when I'm at home. :-) So no promises...
Anyway, the code has changed quite a bit in the last few years, so it'll take me a while to get my head around it again even if I do find the time.

in the last days I was looking at your work and today I started to apply the latest (2001!!!) 2.4.6 patch to a vanilla kernel (2.4.6).

Since you are the last who worked on it would be good if you help us to find the way to help (you) and your work. Do you agree?

Apparently Oleg Orel has UML on PPC basically working, and will hopefully release it soon (within a few weeks). So I think it's worth waiting (a reasonable time) for Oleg's work, to avoid duplicating the effort.
If we lose patience, though, I agree with you. :-)

It is not a matter of loosing patience, but for me on being involved in. For my point of view, the problem shouldn't have arosen if I didn't buy a Powerbook. Now I would like to be more and more involved, but I have not a so strong background to carry a kernel development efford.
My idea is, at first, to contribute by testing and patching, then we will see.
I would be a pity if we don't have uml on such arch as the ppc (so glorious!) I want to wait as long as possible to have something good ù(or working). At the moment, if I would like to contribute, where can I get the code to test? where is Oleg Orel's repository to test? How ca I contact him?
I would be pleased to you if you answer to these simple question(at the moment) ;^P
Thank you in advance.
Regards

Side question: does the !i386 uml options depend on BROKEN in kconfig?

No - but actually I do not think there is a such "Kconfig option". You should add SUBARCH=ppc on the command line to cross-build it. A good idea could be "echo WARNING - code currrently broken". However it's quite impossible for it to build at all.
