Sloppy writing on my part. What I did was copy the /dev from my running RH8, and then added the ubd block devices, all as per http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/compile.html. But I'm more paranoid now, and it does seem like the MAKEDEV files in the FC4 distribution should know better what is needed. So I belew away the old /dev, and did MAKEDEV std and generic. Anything else I should be making? After that, I confirmed that /dev/console exists with the major/minor you provided. That got me further. I ran into the "set_thread_area failed when setting up thread-local storage" problem, found your post on the mailing list, and added "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/obsolete/linuxthreads" to the command line. Unfortunately, I'm still getting the same error: ------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] linux-2.6]$ ./vmlinux mem=48M ubd0=../root_fs.fc-4-base.pristine.20050622 ubd1=../swap LD_LIBRARY_PAT H=/lib/obsolete/linuxthreads Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...OK Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...missing Checking PROT_EXEC mmap in /tmp...OK Checking for the skas3 patch in the host: - /proc/mm...not found - PTRACE_FAULTINFO...not found - PTRACE_LDT...not found UML running in SKAS0 mode Linux version 2.6.15.1 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)) #1 Wed Feb 15 18:26:33 C ST 2006 Built 1 zonelists Kernel command line: mem=48M ubd0=../root_fs.fc-4-base.pristine.20050622 ubd1=../swap LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/obsol ete/linuxthreads root=98:0 PID hash table entries: 256 (order: 8, 4096 bytes) Dentry cache hash table entries: 8192 (order: 3, 32768 bytes) Inode-cache hash table entries: 4096 (order: 2, 16384 bytes) Memory: 46140k available Mount-cache hash table entries: 512 Checking for host processor cmov support...Yes Checking for host processor xmm support...No Checking that host ptys support output SIGIO...Yes Checking that host ptys support SIGIO on close...No, enabling workaround Checking for /dev/anon on the host...Not available (open failed with errno 2) /usr/include/linux/aio_abi.h not present during build 2.6 host AIO support not used - falling back to I/O thread NET: Registered protocol family 16 mconsole (version 2) initialized on /home/jwd/.uml/o6SLAC/mconsole ubd: Synchronous mode VFS: Disk quotas dquot_6.5.1 Dquot-cache hash table entries: 1024 (order 0, 4096 bytes) io scheduler noop registered io scheduler anticipatory registered io scheduler deadline registered io scheduler cfq registered NET: Registered protocol family 2 IP route cache hash table entries: 512 (order: -1, 2048 bytes) TCP established hash table entries: 2048 (order: 1, 8192 bytes) TCP bind hash table entries: 2048 (order: 1, 8192 bytes) TCP: Hash tables configured (established 2048 bind 2048) TCP reno registered TCP bic registered NET: Registered protocol family 1 NET: Registered protocol family 17 Initialized stdio console driver Console initialized on /dev/tty0 Initializing software serial port version 1 ubda: unknown partition table ubdb: unknown partition table kjournald starting.
