After all, it doesn't seem this to be the problem. Today I started from scratch in a different machine having: OS: Slackware.12.2 RAM: 512MB I compiled kernel.3.1.2 for ARCH=um, built a 5GB sparse file as an image and a 1GB non-sparse for swap. Installed Slackware.12.2 into the 5GB sparse file. Executed 'make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/mnt/sparse-file ARCH=um'. Installed fstab thus: ---- /dev/ubdb swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/ubda / ext3 defaults 1 1 #/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,owner,ro 0 0 #/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 --- and fired UML with: ./linux ubda=uml_fs ubdb=uml_fs_swap mem=xxxM trying 64, 128, 384, 448 and 512 as values for mem. No problems whatsoever. I even started mysql and played around for a while. I realize this is a different configuration than the one I was having issues with. Is it possible though that my fstab is somehow not 'correct'? Anyway, I won't have access to the machine that gave troubles until Monday, so I can't be more specific.
