Hi, Not sure about this but I'm wondering if your problem is that you're trying to access uml through a tap device on the same network as your host machine's ethernet interface. The only way I've managed to get things working is by putting tap0 on a separate network to the other network interf

[uml-user] shutting down uml

2009-08-16 Thread andy baxter
Is there a way to shut down uml cleanly if you can't do it by halting it from a terminal inside uml? I've had to do this a couple of times (with a standard TERM signal), and both times it's trashed the (ext3) filesystem it was using. cheers, andy --

I've had a go at getting UML running off a partition on the host system. What I've done is: - prepare it as an ext3 filesystem. - mount it and debootstrap a debian base system into it. - checked it works when you chroot to it. - install the user-mode-linux debian package. - run: $ linux.uml mem=1
