Actually, Rob Landley is using it on a quite standard basis, and Jeff Dike is working on a new version of it supporting well ownerships and so on. > >> ./linux ssl=xterm console=xterm root=/dev/root > >> rootflags=/sandboxes/amd64uml/ rootfstype=hostfs > >> > >> I get an error about a missing /dev/shm/root > > > > /dev/shm/root?

Ok, this is not hostfs-related likely. > Checking root file system... > fsck 1.37 (21-Mar-2005) > fsck.ext2: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/shm/root > Possibly non-existent or swap device? Ah, ok, but what fsck checks is determined by the content of /etc/fstab... it shouldn't name a device for /, only a line like: none / hostfs defaults 0 0 and /dev/shm/root has no reason whatsoever to appear in that file, IMHO (either it's a typo or someone had a smarter idea which he didn't finish to implement). > >> the other big question that I have is about the networking. > useing this command line > > ./amd64uml/linux ssl=xterm console=xterm eth0=tuntap,tap0 eth1=tuntap,tap1 [...] > at this point I have xterms up for the active tty's on the uml box, but > ifconfig -a doesn't show any network interfaces. But ./amd64uml/linux --showconfig should show at least the following being enabled: CONFIG_UML_NET=y CONFIG_UML_NET_TUNTAP=y does it? > with ifconfig reporting > > eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:45:5D:30:1C > inet addr:10.201.7.99 Bcast:10.201.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 > tap0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 7A:A4:9F:8D:6D:DC > inet addr:10.201.7.203 Bcast:10.201.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 > tap1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr AA:95:E7:B0:73:52 > inet addr:10.201.7.204 Bcast:10.201.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 These three interfaces can share the same IP since they refer to the same host. > Configuring network interfaces...make: /etc/mail/Makefile: No such file or > directory > make: *** No rule to make target `/etc/mail/Makefile'.
