Aha - that is the solution to my problem on this machine - didn't realise that it was a kernel config option on 2.6.x and off by default.
Then had the following which was due to me not setting character devices up in kernel options: "Using a channel type which is configured out of UML" multiple types and then "INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes "INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes (Mainly adding this for anybody searching archives) I have updated the Wiki troubleshooting page at: http://uml.harlowhill.com/index.php/Troubleshooting with it as well. Thanks so much, now onto my 32/64 bit Debian Sarge problem which is another post....
