are you sure that the melix_fs was not already mounted on host with loop
dev?
I mean:
# mount -o loop /uml/melix_fs /mnt (for instance)
# ... commands
# ./linux ubd0=/uml/melix_fs eth0=tuntap,tap0,,217.160.17.189
without previously unmount (# umount /mnt), it may happen that uml tells
you that your melix_fs is read-only.
But it should allow you to proceed with the boot process; uhm, I need time
to reproduce a similar situation.

Another reason could be that the melix_fs needs to be fsck'd and some
inodes need to be fixed:
# e2fsck -f /uml/melix_fs

Let us know if these suggestion may match your case.

Cheers

PS; from my ponit of view it sounds more a issue with the fs that with the
uml kernel/skas patch.
