I think it's not hard to crate your own Debian Sarge root_fs. It might work for you. # apt-get install debootstrap # debootstrap sarge root-filesystem # du -sh root-filesystem/ 144M root-filesystem/ # A sparse root_fs of 2G. # dd if=/dev/zero of=root_fs bs=1 count=0 seek=2097152000 # /sbin/mkfs.reiserfs --format=3.6 root_fs # mkdir mnt-uml && mount root_fs mnt-uml/ -o loop # cp -a root-filesystem/* mnt-uml/ # vim mnt-uml/etc/inittab (comment the relevant lines, so you don't get a lot of virtual consoles. Leave the rest untouched). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 #2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 #3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3 #4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4 #5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5 #6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # vim mnt-uml/etc/inittab ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # file system mount point type options dump pass /dev/ubd0 / reiserfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- umount mnt-uml/ That should be all.... Boot with the UML, set up networking (slirp would be ok), and then do # base-config And begin a normal Debian installation. You can use apt to install what you might need. and later: # apt-get install udev It worked for me with this configuration. http://geocities.com/arhuaco/post/user_mode_linux/config-uml-2.6.13.1-sept-18.txt Regards, Nelson.- -- Homepage : http://geocities.com/arhuaco The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool. -- Richard Feynman. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ User-mode-linux-user mailing list User-mode-linux-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/user-mode-linux-user
