[Pkg-uml-pkgs] Bug#366915: user-mode-linux: fails when host kernel is linux-image-2.6.16-1-k7

[Mattia Dongili]

Hello UML developers,

I received the following bugreport for 2.6.16 UML running on a 2.6.16
host (both are debian packages). I found a similar report on a french
site[1], it seems to be the same problem.

Can you help putting some light there?
Thanks in advance
