A few weeks ago, after more struggling than I expected, I was abble to run UML. I recompiled the linux kernel from source; I did not use the root fs files available in the website, and found a Debian that seems to suit my needs.
But yesterday I tried to execute it again, it did not work. The fact that yesterday I tried it through SSH makes a difference? Most of the command lines I had in my Bash history (long enough to have almost everything I did in the previous session with this problem). None of them worked. Most of them just seg fault in the beginning of execution. Error related to root fs (surprise for me!). Just two of the commands I tried did not seg fault immediatelly; but they also give no output, and I had to start another SSH session, at the same time, to be able to kill it (since ctrl+c and any other keyboard shortcuts) would be "processed" my uml. I'm not sure what to do now. This command line I executed right now: ./linux-2.6.24-x86_64 ubda=Debian-Wheezy-x86-root_fs mem=128M Execute in the folder where the root fs file exists, gives ONLY this output (almost immediatelly). It is through SSH. Is there a problem here? I expected an user/password "screen" or anything similar. The whole output I have for the above command, and I will let it waiting for several minutes, is: =========================================== Core dump limits : soft - 0 hard - NONE Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...OK Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...OK Checking advanced syscall emulation patch for ptrace...OK Checking for tmpfs mount on /dev/shm...nothing mounted on /dev/shm Checking PROT_EXEC mmap in /tmp/...OK Checking for new_mm and switch_mm support in the host: /proc/self/mm ...
