linux-2.5 with IPv6 and UML

[Klavs]

Hi guys,

I just took my working 2.4 config - ran make oldconfig on a 2.5.63 kernel - patched with a few UML upgrades from the User Mode Linux site - but if I configure my kernel with make menuconfig ARCH=um - I can't select IPv6.

I then tried to configure it with ipv6 (and cryptoapi) - and then configure it with UML - but when I try to compile it dies

Anybody have any experience with this?

I use vservers (alternativ to UML with much better performance and no extra ressource usage) and I wanted to use real IPv6 (ie. IPv6 with IPSEC - as required by the RFC - and not included with 2.4 ipv6).
As there is no vserver patch for 2.5 I figured, I could use UML instead - but
i've tried it with both 2.4 and 2.5 it won't compile when I enable USAGI ipv6 (the ipv6 included in 2.5) and UML.

output from compile (make bzImage):
