[uml-user] 2.6.19 skas3

Hi everyone, I was looking for a recent 2.6.19 guest kernel patch with skas3 on blaisorblade's website. I found a host patch, but no guest patch. What I found were two 2.6.19 guest kernels with skas on other websites. Can anyone tell my how to compile a 2.6.19 guest kernel without a 2.6.19 pat

[uml-user] serial lines between uml instances

Hi, I try to setup a kind of rescue console for a few users of mine. As Jeff described in the howto and in his book, there should be a simple setup of connecting to uml instances with each other. master_uml -> slave_uml User connects via ssh to master_uml. The /etc/passwd there points to a scr

[uml-user] x86_64 with skas3

Hi, I'm trying to run a x86_64 host system with a 32bit and/or a 64bit guest system. Whilst applying the uml kernel patch -bb1 for the 2.6.18 kernel, I get the following messages: -> patching file arch/um/Makefile-x86_64 Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] Apply any

[uml-user] chroot uml_mconsole [was: chroot/jail with skas3?]

Hi, thanks for the fast response about skas3 and chroot, the mount -bind indeed works great! I'm experiencing another problem, sadly. I don't get uml_mconsole running on this instance. I experimented with all kinds of uml_dir=/foo_bar settings and with invoking the uml_mconsole with all kind

[uml-user] chroot/jail with skas3?

Hi, I'm trying to start an uml instance in a chroot by either using Jeff Dike's do-chroot or by using compartment. For example, the following setup works fine: Directory /home/chtest ./tmp ./kernel ./disk1 with a command line like this: ./do-chroot . 1004 ./kernel ubd0=/disk1 mem=96M uml_dir=

[uml-user] AMD64 compile problem

Hi, I tried to compile a uml guest kernel on an AMD64 host. The compile itself was without errors, but a simple startup seems to be impossible. After invoking uml with a ubuntu server 64 image with ./linux ubd0=userv64_fs the boot process commences from Checking that ptrace can change system

[uml-user] external modules: compile (IPsec et al.)

Hi, first of all: thanks to all of you, especially Blaisorblade for all the work and for helping me in November with my devfs problem. I'm playing around with 2.6 and 2.4 kernels, most of them work inspite of me building them ;-) Problem: I don't get the clue how to build an external module (li

[uml-user] Question about Swap and Partitions

Hi, first of all: thanks to Blaisorblade for the answer to my (stupid) devfs/device question some days ago. You're great! I'm experimenting more with UML and I'm quite lucky about it, I just came across severeal questions I'm really stuck with: First of all, I'ld like to improve swap performance

[uml-user] Re: linux is stuck

Hi there, I'm quite new to UML and I'm trying to setup a 3-instance machine on a small single cpu pc. Everything went fine so far, Kernels seem to be okay, but when the UML client instance starts, the server boots until it gets stuck after showing that the cron.d ist started. (I guess this is the
