From 1fbbd6844e6a84e5d166ab475dc298d3b89fa4bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Dike Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 01:14:39 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] uml: prevent umid theft Behavior when booting two UMLs with the same umid was broken. The second one would steal the umid. This fixes that, making the second UML take a random umid instead.
