Hi Everybody, I'm try to get UML up and running, but I can't get it to recognize my root filesystem. Here's a little background on my process thus far.
I'm running Debian. I built UML from source, using the 2.6.11.5 linux kernel. I didn't apply the patch because this version is new enough to have UML support built in as part of the kernel. At first I didn't change any of the kernel config options, but after trolling through the list archives for a while I found someone who solved this problem by enabling BLK_DEV_UBD and BLK_DEV_UBD_SYNC, so I tried that too (it didn't help). I've tried three different pre-built filesystem so far: Debian-3.0r2.ext2, Debian-3.0r2.ext2, and root_fs_toms1.7.205. I've played around with passing the command line option devfs=nomount. I created the file dev/ubd/disc0/disc on the guest filesystem, using the method found here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=6773617&forum_id=3647 Despite that, when I attempt to run colinux, it says dev/ubd/disc0: unknown partition table right before the error message in the subject line. Another interesting thing I've noticed: if I pass a command line argument cobd0= instead of root=, the error message if VFS: Cannot open root device (0:98) instead of displaying the name of the filesystem. So, anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? I can't really think of anything else to try at this point. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
