My standard test is to compile in hostfs and the stderr console, and then as a normal user do: ./linux rootfstype=hostfs rw init=/bin/sh Then do "whoami" and if it says "root" you're in UML, not the parent system. That tells you whether or not you have a working UML, separate from whether or not you have a working root image. > 3.
