I am unable to run UML mode (i386) under 2.6.12: the execution gives the following messages.

By the way, the output beyond the first three lines has to be printed out after a hack of printk(), as the latter usually failed to print out anything.

The kernel is compiled with a ported config from 2.6.10-um, and is run under exactly the same condition as the 2.6.10 counterpart which works fine. The host is under Linux-2.4.31.
