Well, I already updated the x86_32 config and necessary files so you should repeat all of the above using sid's 2.6.20 and the current svn[1] files for user-mode-linux (or a snapshot package I made yesterday[2]). Then send me the diff (or the source package stuff, I'll diff it here), I'm going to upload uml-2.6.20 asap.
