Tried to get binfmt_misc working on my unixshell Xen server, not that I need it but I want it, and I'd liked to have helped this guy in the process. It was quite a trip.
First, I had to upgrade some packages, as my kernel was built with gcc-4.0 and
I had gcc-3.3 installed. But apt-get kept insisting there was no
gcc-4.0 available. I had to rebuild my /etc/sources.list by
running dmesg which told me to disable the tls libraries,
which I did after dpkg finally finished installing the locales
for every frickin' language for every goddamn country in the world. Got the
kernel source using include files by
running:
Then after hours of fiddling came up with this patch which, after running# mv /usr/include/linux /usr/include/linux.old # ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.16-xen/include/linux /usr/include/linux
make modules modules_install dmesg.
After all that, I confirmed that "mmilne" from the unixshell forum knew what
he was doing, and we're not likely to get binfmt_misc working until Matt Ayres
and the fine folks at Unixshell decide to build the support into the kernel.
If the entry binfmt_misc doesn't show up under /proc/sys/fs there isn't a hell of a lot you can do.
