I had a similar problem. Here's how I fixed it: 1) Boot your UML with this option added on the command line: init=/bin/sh 2) That should allow you to poke around in /dev. Check for terminals (eg. tty0, tty1, tty/0, tty/1). 3) If there are none, and if you are using DevFS - which I suspect you are - you could use the vc/0, vc/1, etc. terminals, but I would recommend this: 4) Recompile UML without DevFS. 5) If you recompiled, go back to step 2 and poke around again. Either way, find which terminals you should be using, then halt the VM. 6) mount -o loop root_fs /mnt # or whatever you call it. 7) vi /mnt/etc/inittab 8) scroll down to the section that looks something like: 1:2345:/sbin/mingetty tty1 9) comment those entries out and make a new entry for the terminal you picked in /dev. For instance, if I discovered that tty0 was available and decided that I wanted to call this entry c1, my entry would look something like this: c1:2345:/sbin/mingetty tty0 10) unmount and boot, should work now. If you get problems with loading the filesystem, you might need to go tweak around in the guest filesystem's /etc/fstab.
Hope it helps, worked for me, Ernie ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ User-mode-linux-user mailing list User-mode-linux-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/user-mode-linux-user
