you've given root=/dev/ubd0, and VFS mounted it fine .. then fsck can't find /dev/ubd/0 ? It'd appear your image is configured to use devfs - mount your image with mount -o loop then edit /etc/fstab to use /dev/ubd0 instead of /dev/ubd/0 > --------- Red Hat UML ---------------- > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/opt/uml$ ./uml-rh.sh [...] > Kernel command line: mem=48M > ubd0=root-rh.COW,/opt/uml/root_fs.rh-7.2-server.pristine.20020312 > eth0=tuntap,,,192.168.0.254 con=pty con0=fd:0,fd:1 root=/dev/ubd0 [...] > INIT: Id "0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes > INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes > INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes > INIT: Id "c" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes > INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel my only guess is that whatever it's spawning doesn't like there not being a terminal available? My best suggestions would be to try using "con=xterm" rather than "con=pty con0=fd:0,fd:1" atleast for long enough to let it you login and see what it's spawning, why it's failing, and what you can do about it.
