<div dir="ltr">Hi there !<br>
<br>
Recently, a few people recommended Netkit to me to help
learn Linux networking and I started messing around with
it.<br>
Since we are several here to wish to learn and experiment,
I eventually thought about creating a collaborative set of
labs to use on a central machine for more interactivity.<br>
However the version of Quagga included in Netkit's
filesystem seems to be very old and lacks several features
I'd have liked to use (eg. AS4) :(<br>
<br>
The website' FAQ clearly explains how to upgrade the
existing Debian install or install new packages. However,
the associated Netkit Kernel now seems to be too old...<br>
Since it is running off what seems to be a Debian Unstable
snapshot from 2010, any newer package install post package
update pulls in the newest glibc version 2.17.<br>
Since glibc 2.17, there is a minimum requirement for the
Linux Kernel version of 2.6.16, according to their own
changelog [ <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-announce/2012/msg00001.html"
target="_blank">http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-announce/2012/msg00001.html</a>
] -- which should be fine with Netkit's 2.6.22.<br>
However when attempting to update a running UML Machine,
Debian complains about requiring a kernel newer than
2.6.32 and refuses to upgrade.<br>
Indeed, attempting to upgrade from a chroot environement
(bypassing the kernel check since it matchs against the
host' version) results in an unbootable filesystem (fails
at init startup)...<br>
<br>
As such I'd like to ask the following questions : <br>
- Are there any plans to update the provided kernel, or
do anyone know where I can find a third-party one ?<br>
- Will Netkit run if building a newer kernel without the
provided netkit patches ?<br>
- If yes, to what extent could features be lost by the
removal of those patches ? Will just any UML kernel run ?<br>
- Last but not least, while only Debian is officially
supported, is building a new filesystem from scratch from
a different distro likely to succeed ?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance ;)<br>
