Hello, I'm maintaining Netkit-NG, a set of scripts to boot and configure small networks using UML machines for teaching purposes.
<https://netkit-ng.github.io/> This set of scripts is based on Netkit <http://www.netkit.org/> which was using kernel from Debian Lenny. Starting UML with con1=xterm was working at this time. But now, using the same configuration to boot Debian Wheezy UML kernel with a xterm on con1 fails. So far I'm stuck with the following command lines. This one works (starts a xterm with UML): xterm -e /home/kartoch/works/netkit/netkit-ng/kernel/netkit-kernel modules=/home/kartoch/works/netkit/netkit-ng/kernel/modules name=dummy title=dummy umid=dummy mem=36M ubd0=/home/kartoch/tmp/tmp/dummy.disk,/home/kartoch/works/netkit/netkit-ng/fs/netkit-fs root=98:0 uml_dir=/home/kartoch/.netkit/mconsole hosthome=/home/kartoch quiet con0=fd:0,fd:1 con1=null SELINUX_INIT=0 But if I want to start UML with a second xterm on the con1, i.e. replacing con1= null by con1=xterm in the commad line, no second xterm is started. This was the expected behavior in the original netkit (and it worked). I'm looking for help, especially about how to debug this problem (so far no error messages in messages or dmesg in the host or the UML machine) and how port-helper works on this case. I think UML cannot found xterm or port-helper, as if UML is started with xterm on con0 and con1 it block after display the amount of physical memory. The command line is: /home/kartoch/works/netkit/netkit-ng/kernel/netkit-kernel modules=/home/kartoch/works/netkit/netkit-ng/kernel/modules name=dummy title=dummy umid=dummy mem=36M ubd0=/home/kartoch/tmp/tmp/dummy.disk,/home/kartoch/works/netkit/netkit-ng/fs/netkit-fs root=98:0 uml_dir=/home/kartoch/.netkit/mconsole hosthome=/home/kartoch quiet con0=xterm con1=xterm Thanks for your help.
