[uml-user] 2.6.9-bb4 hangs

2005-01-04 Thread Jason Clark
I have been trying to replicate the 2.6.9-bb4 shutdown hangs that some users have been experiencing. At the same time, I am building a new server at home that has a VERY minimal host os (think just enough to run iptables and uml-tools). The only way I have found to replicate the hang is if /p

good point, but it still seems to find the skas patch and continue on its way. Not sure why that is working. Jason The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there... And still on your feet. On Tue, 4 Jan 2005, roland wrote: Hi ! The only way I have found to re

hi, maybe your guest filesystem has empty /dev. Check if in your own guest kernel you added devfs: File system -> Pseudo filesystems [*] /dev file system support (OBSOLETE) [*] Automatically mount at boot (NEW) Rgds, Konrad --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > hi, > > i've compiled my
