I'm not intending to swamp this list, but I'd like to share some additional information about this hanging issue. At the time when UML hangs, there are four threads running in it. Below, I'm providing their stack traces as shown by gdb: #0 0x081963eb in __nanosleep_nocancel () at include/net/soc

Hi Godmar, I had the same symptom last week. It isn't always related to VDSO: http://marc.info/?l=user-mode-linux-user&m=118162823019693&w=2 That patch resolved my issue, but I don't want to send you barking up the wrong tree. This specific issue is supposed to be resolved by 2.6.21.5 (guest kern

Scott, 2.6.22.5 appears to already contain this patch. FWIW, here is the startup output: 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...OK Ch

Hey Godmar, When I was experiencing the hang, I'd still get the output you list below. I wasn't saying that the patch was your answer, just that it's not necessarily the VDSO issue. In my experience, the issue disappeared when I used the 2.6.21.5 guest kernel instead of a 2.6.14 guest kernel on RH

[uml-user] UML and wireless lan

2007-09-05 Thread andrea
Hi all, I’d use UML to emulate wireless LAN and mesh scenarios. In particular, I’m interested in emulating links with different SNR hidden nodes and using iwconfig/iwlist tools on VMs to analyze network status. First of all, I’ll work with fixed nodes only, then, the next step will be mobile n
