I've run across this, my solution, taken from someone on here, was to remove udev on the guest. It is udev getting confused by the ever changing MAC address, each time the uml machine boots it finds a new network interface but looses the old one. I tried specifiying the MAC address on the command line that started up the guest but the guest did not seem to accept it. There was a post a couple of days back pretty much along the same lines as yours. BTW, using Slackware myself.
