Never mind about non-root user booting - the filesystem file was owned by root - a chown fixed it.

Still looking for decent FAQs, doc.

Subject: newbie - how make filesystem boootable as non-root
To: user-mode-linux-user@lists.sourceforge.net

I've got the FedoraCore5-x86-root_fs and linux-2.6.16 from the home page and they are OK, but I want a Centos4 rootfs.

I managed to cobble something together that makes a useable filesystem, as long as I run as root.

If I run as not root, the boot process keeps declaring allsorts of things ( /var/* etc.) as readonly.
