I think it can, otherwise he would not be able to see a booting userland. This happened to me some time ago too. I got a login prompt, but I was not able to enter my password, because it kept on promting me for the username with a few seconds delay. I circumvented it by using the image from netkit.org, but I suspect that it has something to do with a missing /dev/pts filesystem, or one that is not working correctly. To login you need a pseudoterminal, and if getty can not open one you cannot log in, I think. But i am not an expert in these matters so I might be wrong. The 98:0 or 98:1 are designations wich partition of the ubd should be used, I suppose. Some images have a partition table on them and an offset where the filesystem begins, and I have seen these use 98:1. But since you see a booting userland, your root filesystem has been mounted, so uml is able to find it and that is not your problem. -- with kind regards, Jelle Booomstra ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
