[uml-user] 2 UML clients, fighting for network (uml-bridge)

I am using a bridge for 2 uml clients. It works beautifully with only one client, then after I startup the second the network randomly cuts out for each system. I've noticed I can "kill" one by pinging the other one. For example if UML#1 network dies and I ping it, suddenly UML#2 is unpingable

[uml-user] A hardware random number generator for UML

I wrote a little HW random number generator based on hw_random.c. It hooks itself up to major 10, minor 183, which seems to be the standard for a HW RNG. The standard name for this seems to be /dev/hwrng. I don't know if the ususal random number consumers look for /dev/hwrng before /dev/random,

[uml-user] swapoff hangs forever in UML guests

We have again encountered a nasty and weird problem with UML. If swap is enabled for a virtual machine, and the virtual machine actually swaps something, swapoff at shutdown hangs the machine. Now, I could understand this, if it was because the running processes would not fit in main memory withou

Hi list, I'm building my first usermode linux system, using a howto from the Gentoo site. (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/uml.xml) When I booted linux, it hung(*) because it couldn't find any modules, so I went back and built and installed modules target, mounted the rootfs as loopdevice and co

[uml-user] uml_moo and COW file version 3

Hello, I'd like to merge a COW file with a baking file using uml_moo. problem: When I try "uml_moo cow02 newfs", I get the following message: Unknown version 3 And indeed the usage message explains "uml_moo supports version 1 and 2 COW files." questions: -is there another way of doing the merge?
