(Those are all the 2.6.12 UMLs I've tried.) Basically, userspace never starts: the last two lines I see are
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. line_ioctl: tty0: ioctl KDSIGACCEPT called [halt] (If I reboot into 2.6.11.9-bs5 with the same root fs, the next line I see is init's banner.) A trace of the main thread shows it sleeping, perhaps because, well, userspace hasn't started yet: USER PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD firewall 14958 14942 0 20:40 ? 00:00:00 [uml-esperi] firewall 14962 14942 0 20:40 ? 00:00:00 uml-esperi con=port:16380 con0=fd:0,fd:1 fakeide mem=96M ubd0=/mirror/uml/esperi-roo firewall 14963 14942 0 20:40 ? 00:00:00 uml-esperi con=port:16380 con0=fd:0,fd:1 fakeide mem=96M ubd0=/mirror/uml/esperi-roo firewall 14942 14941 1 20:40 ? 00:00:01 uml-esperi con=port:16380 con0=fd:0,fd:1 fakeide mem=96M ubd0=/mirror/uml/esperi-roo Attaching to program: /usr/packages/linux/variants/i586-esperi/linux, process 14942 Reading symbols from /lib/libutil.so.1...done.
