Hi there, I've been trying to run UML on FC6 (kernel 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6) and appear to have encountered the same issue as described in the following threads:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ msg04571.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/m sg04479.html Has there been any further resolution of trying to get UML to run on FC6? The system hangs when I get to "VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly." I have applied patches described in both threads to kernel 2.6.19 and rebuilt and still encounter issues. I have also tried pre-built kernels 2.6.21.1 downloaded via http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/, and 2.6.13.4-bs5, 2.6.16.9-bs2, 2.6.18.1-bb2 from http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade/binaries/ I have attempted loads of prebuilt rootfs Busybox 1.5.0, 1.1.0, Debian 4.0 from http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/, and also a hostfs rootfs with most of the kernels. I am able to get pre-built kernel and rootfs operating on Mepis (using kernel 2.6.18.1-bb2 and rootfs busybox-1.5.0) or Red Hat 7.3 (using kernel 2.4.32-bs3 and rootfs busybox-1.1.1) My command line has been something like ./linux rootfstype=hostfs init=/bin/sh or ./linux ubd0=./rootfs init=/bin/sh I have also various other switches described in http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/ and http://www.landley.net/code/UML.html Can anyone help?
