Hi - I've been left in charge of a server running UML. There are a few
virtual servers hosted on it.

All was going well until it all went down this morning; the host server
was rebooted, and when it came back up the UML servers didn't.

I've been left with some instructions, but so far haven't been able to
get the UML servers back again. I think it's a networking issue between
UML and the host server.

The instructions I've been give say to bring up the interface to the UML
server first:

    ifconfig mwuml004 up

But I get a:

    mwuml004: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

So I start up the UML server:

    su - mwuml004 /home/mwuml004/bin/mwuml004

and ps -fu mwuml004 reveals all kinds of exciting things going on there,
until the thing boots up and settles down into normality. But even if I
now try to bring the interface up again, I still can't get network
access to it - I can't even ping it.

Does this look like a networking issue at first sight?

Any suggestions for the next diagnostic step would be gratefully received.

Thanks,

Daniele
