Hi, I am trying to use the provided rootfs images from the http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/dl-sf.html site.
I took the following ones: Debian-3.0r0.ext2 root_fs_slack8.1 I'm starting my uml with the following command: linux con=pty con0=pts con1=pts ubd0=root_fs_slack8.1 (ofcourse when I want to start the debian image, I do ubd0=Debian-3.0r0.ext2) I'm a bit confused about the whole console/device/channel story, but I hope this way to start the instance is OK. However, with the slackware image everything works like a charm, I'm getting the bootprompt, and I am able to login through con0 and con1 as well and able to login, etc. Though I would like to use the Debian image as well - but here I only van use con0, and it doesn't get to the bootprompt: Starting deferred execution scheduler: atd. Starting periodic command scheduler: cron. 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 I checked the howto, the wiki, etc, and then tried to compare the two inittabs. The slackware inittab contains: c0:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty0 linux c1:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux c2:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux c3:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux The Debian inittab contains: 0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 ttys0 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 ttys1 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 ttys2 c:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 serial0 [...hackhack...quickanddirty...tryanderror....] wellwellwell. It works. I added: c0:1235:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty0 linux c1:1235:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 linux c2:1235:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 linux c3:1235:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3 linux to the debian inittab. Et voilá. It workz. The idea, why i still send this message: Could someone pls explain me what I made wrong, or if this is the right solution, could it be pls taken up to the Debian uml images? Or into the HOWTO? wbr charlie -- - Because it messes up the order in which you normally read text. - Why is top-posting such a bad idea? - Top-posting. - What is the most annoying thing on Usenet? ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
