"Gets stuck" here means "I don't see anything happening", which in turns means "consoles don't get started". Check also guest kernel config (console channels) and startup. > Please excuse my dumb mind, but I don't get the cause of this.

Rather than trying udev/devfs, check /etc/inittab and check the console configuration for the kernel, and the existance of xterm on that system if you're going to run with con=xterm (you can use another terminal emulator, you must just specify which on cmd line). > Can someone provide me with a working file system for a debian sarge host > with 2.16.13 kernel using devfs or (!) udev accompanied by some hints about > the setup of securetty, inittab and fstab? There are various answer on creating it with debootstrap. You may find some FS available from various people, but you cannot trust anybody else about not having trojaned it. That's the main problem. > Is there a debian howto or a general howto for user mode linux and its > setup that does provide information for the 2.6 kernels and file images > newer than the redhat 7 stuff out there? Search archives, various FC2/FC3 and so on FS are generally available. > (No offense, but the UML community > is a bit 'decentralized' if you know what I mean :( ) Yep... -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
