Apart that as you say con=pts is good, but for X11: 1) Test with xterm, but before: 2) export DISPLAY=workstation:0 - that setting must be readable by processes attempting to use X. But you'd better: 3) Enable SSH forwading - ssh to the server and start UML from there (possibly with screen) - SSH will open an encrypted X11 tunnel and auto-setup DISPLAY and so on. > > However, there is no auto fallback. > > > > You're using wrong settings - you should pass it something like con=pts, > > for instance, and then open the consoles with minicom or screen. > It indeed seems that con=pts is the way to go for me :) > With some images however I was able to get in some sort of rescue mode, single user mode aka "add 1 on the cmd line?" > which just put a log-in prompt & after that a shell on the same terminal > I ran the 'linux' command on (and where also all the kernel messages are > printed). Wouldn't it be possible to use this too for regular log-ins? First, you can say con1=fd:0,fd:1 instead to redirect tty1 to stdin/out, however you just need to add an entry in inittab for tty0 along with tty1 and list tty0 in /etc/*securetty* (path varies) to allow root to login from tty0. Don't use /dev/console as that is very different and has problems (aka Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Z don't work, for instance). However, I recall that Ctrl-C doesn't work well that way - from stdin,stdout. > (I would imagine running the 'linux' commando from within a screen > session, We do it all the time, but you can IIRC make screen attach to a pts. > so it would be really easy to attach back to it.) > In the end I will probably do most of my stuff through ssh with the UML > system, but I will probably need to get some sort of networking running > for that first :) > Thanks, > Julius -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
