Hi all,

These images aren't linked from the home page yet. Each page contains a
link to the script/commands used to create the image.

Here they are:
http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/Ubuntu-Feisty/
http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/Ubuntu-Dapper/
http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/Debian-Etch/
http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/BusyBox-1.5.0



Some notes/issues - I think the images are usable as-is, but it would be
nice to get rid of some of those messages:
1) Dapper was made from the Breezy image with a "dist-upgrade" rather
than from scratch, which may trigger some issues. ie:
 * a boot message about /sbin/ifrename which has been replaced by udev
but still referenced in a script...)
 * "id: cannot find name for group ID 11"
2) caught this on all images:
[42949394.930000] line_ioctl: tty0: unknown ioctl: 0x541e
[42949394.930000] line_ioctl: tty0: unknown ioctl: 0x5603
Is this because of the getty settings? (38000 vs 9600?)
3) "hwclock is unable to get I/O port access:  the iopl(3) call failed."
and "Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method."
But this isn't new, right?
4) A few "Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console"
In Feisty
5) Also in feisty:
mount: none already mounted or /dev/pts busy
mount: according to mtab, devpts is already mounted on /dev/pts
(tried removing it from mtab to no avail)
6) Etch doesn't have any debootstrap scripts that I could find for
Gentoo (even latest unstable debootstrap), and when using the text
installer it keeps crashing at "detecting hardware" on i386.
"fakehd/fake_ide" didn't help (if they still do anything).
I will have to find another way (using debootstrap from within Debian
3.1 UML seems like a plan)

And some new kernel issues I just discovered:
* a 32-bit kernel compiled on 64-bit (using SUBARCH=i386) does not work
on a 32-bit host. It fails with the usual cryptic message:
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init= option to
kernel.
(but init is there, as the same command line works just fine with a
different kernel!)
* a 32-bit kernel compiled on 32-bit does not boot on 64-bit, all I get is:
#> ./vmlinux
"Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...check_ptrace:
PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS failed: Invalid argument"
Versions are always the latest for the guest (2.6.21) and the hosts
varies (2.6.19.2 for amd64 and 2.6.15 for i386) + skas
