I'm attempting to use rootstrap on Debian to create a UML. I have
uml_switch running with the default configuration at boot time. However,
I get the uninformative error of:
I: Retrieving debootstrap.invalid_dists_woody_Release
E: Failed getting release file \
http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/woody/Release
which would seem to imply that UML networking isn't working properly.
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is set to 1, and nothing else is blocking
traffic. I'm not sure what's going wrong, but I'm thinking it has
something to do with the tap device.
I have the following rootstrap.conf:
[global]
fstype=ext3
initialsize=1024
freespace=0
modules=network mkfs mount debian uml umount
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
[network]
hostname=uml-test
interface=eth0
transport=daemon
uml=10.1.1.10
netmask=255.255.255.0
control=/var/run/uml-utilities/uml_switch.ctl
data=/var/run/uml-utilities/uml_switch.data
gateway=10.1.1.1
domain=example.com
nameserver=10.1.1.1
[debian]
dist=woody
mirror=http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/
exclude=pcmcia-cs setserial
[base-config]
root_password=password
[uml]
install_modules=yes
What am I doing wrong?
