did you start from 2.4.x (x<26) UML kernel? dabeian support if out of date and
you need to use the patch I provided to WNPP to update to 2.4.27 or
2.6.12!
If you start from the root_fs from UML archive and you use the old deb pkg
you encountered the problem you mentioned.

If you need to use a console (absolutely no graphic) I suggest:

linux ubd0=... umid=foo  con1=fd:1 con=ptys

or something like that.
If you would like to download my own debs or sources (add in your
/etc/apt/sources):

deb http://etinarcadiaego.dyndns.org/~ste/debian/ ./
deb-src http://etinarcadiaego.dyndns.org/~ste/debian/ ./

Let me know.
If you would like I can provide a root_fs working (starting from root_fs
user-mode-linux.sf.net archive).

Cheers
