To preserve history:
- compile user-mode-linux according to the description
/usr/share/doc/user-mode-linux/README.Debian so that you have a
UML-ified kernel source tree
- unpack the openafs.tar.gz
- change the modules/openafs/debian/sysname so that the i386_umlinux24
sysname is used during the configure. Note however that, although
modules/openafs/README talks about sys_name, this does not seem to
be used, probably because the sys_name is only used when Transarc-
style paths are used.
--- begin ---
# check for UML
case $KVERS in
2.4*um)
echo i386_umlinux24
exit
;;
esac
--- end ---
- build the openafs-modules package:
KSRC=~/uml/user-mode-linux-2.4.23-2um/kernel-source-2.4.23 fakeroot \
make -f debian/rules ARCH=um binary-modules
- The resulting deb file could be installed inside the UML
instance. If the UML instance uses modules directly from the host
(via hostfs), unpack the deb file and copy the modules in
/usr/lib/uml/modules/...
- Load the module inside the UML. Apparently, the module taints the
kernel (I don't know why).
