[uml-user] Starting udev:

2006-08-17 Thread Rick Spillane
I was wondering why this phase of the boot process is so slow. Is there some way I can speed it up? If there is some configuration I can tweak to skip this step, that would be great, if it would require changing a lot of kernel source or what-not, then just tell me that also, and I will live with i

[uml-user] Module Debugging Figured Out

2006-08-09 Thread Rick Spillane
OK. So I figured out how to solve my problem. I will post my results and method below: The module was compiled using ARCH=um of course, so it has debugging information right in the .ko file. I put a break point at __link_module (kernel/module.c:1775). I boot UML, and tell it to load my module.

[uml-user] Module Debugging Help Please?

2006-08-09 Thread Rick Spillane
I am in desperate need of debugging modules in UML. The primary reason I am developing in UML is so I can debug my modules in gdb like a "normal" program, as well as the other benefits of UML. Blaiserblade was very kind in responding to me, but I find it hard to believe that no one has debugged a m

[uml-user] Debugging Modules in SKAS Mode

2006-08-03 Thread Rick Spillane
How do I debug modules with the new UML? I searched around the old website, and the link pointing to the handy-sounding script that does it for you is broken (http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/dl-sf#UML%20utilities), this link came from http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/debugging.html und

[uml-user] Where is system_call?

2006-06-22 Thread Rick Spillane
I am trying to intercept all system calls just within the kernel layer (with a 'normal' kernel I would do this by replacing sys_whatever in the sys_call_table). What would be a good way to go about this in UML? I would expect that since 'um' is its own architecture in the kernel tree, that it would

Re: [uml-user] Custom Compile Won't Boot

2006-06-22 Thread Rick Spillane
So apparently the Fedora image that was on the website didn't work with the 2.6.16 kernel I downloaded. Once I tried the image with 2.6.17 it worked fine. I think the Fedora image used thread local storage, and the 2.6.16 kernel didn't support it well. On 6/22/06, Rick Spillane <[EM

[uml-user] Custom Compile Won't Boot

2006-06-22 Thread Rick Spillane
I followed the instructions on the website to build the kernel, and it appears to finish making (no build errors) but when I try running it with this command: ./linux ubda=../FedoraCore5-x86-root_fs mem=128M It doesn't boot, and gives me this error: VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
