Currently it seems that root= wants a major/minor. If you don't pass anything, UML will auto-add, in fact, root=98:0 to the cmd line (and you can see this in the early boot messages). That is hostfs= (to jail hostfs) or something like rootfstype=hostfs rootfsflags= (to boot off hostfs). > I added a line to print the parameters to do_mount_root: > Couldn't get the block size of "/dev/md0", errno = 13 > /dev/ubd/disc1: unknown partition table > Initializing stdio console driver > VFS: err=-2 <-- do_mount_root(name="/dev/root", p="ext3", flags=0, > root_mount_data="unknown-block(\ 98,0)") > VFS: Cannot open root device "98:0" or unknown-block(98,0) > Please append a correct "root=" boot option > Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(98,0) Wait a moment - unknown-block(98,0) is a different story. It seems you possibly didn't compile in UBD driver support! make defconfig ARCH=um will give you sane defaults. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
