Hi folks -
Whilst setting up a test machine to be able to test some scripts and
not blow anything up on the production side, I've run into a few snags.
My previous UML hosts were 2.4 or 2.6.8 kernels, so they had DevFS.
I noted the announcements that udev was the replacement for same and it was
going to happen sometime in the 2.6 train of releases. Now, with 2.6.15
available inside Debian Etch, I figured I would bite the bullet and go for a
new kernel so I would be prepared when it came time to upgrade the
production boxes.
As my test machines sits now: a VMWare guest (ESX Server), Debian
Etch, 2.6.15 kernel with SKAS3 patch.
Debian Etch guest, UM kernel from user-mode-linux_2.6.15-1um-1_i386.deb
(root_fs built via debootstrap). When I start the UML guest, I receive the
error:
Starting periodic command scheduler....
INIT: Id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "5" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel
Which, with my devfs kernels, was a case of having not set the console for
the UML up correctly. Now, with the non devfs kernels, I'm not really sure
where to proceed from here. I tried setting the guest to attach to tty0, and
set the con0 option on the command line to go to fd:0,fd:1. I also tried
this with and without the devfs=nomount option.
My host machine has udev installed, but I'm at a bit of a loss on how to
make use of it for uml.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated; I've looked through the mailing
list archives and picked up tidbits here and there but haven't found the
piece that will make the light bulb go on.
Thanks!
Rick
