hostfs as root is not well supported.
good to know, I'll avoid useing it for now. is it on the roadmap to be
supported?
No, it can't work as root, for a variety of reasons. However, humfs,
which I'm banging on now, and which seems to be working well, will
work as root.
to clarify your answer
are you saying that hostfs can't work as / or can't work if the uml is run
as user root?
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?
I have no idea what /dev/shm/root is supposed to be, but this error
normally means that, while the device file is present in /dev, the
driver for it is not present in the UML kernel.
I'll tryi this again with 2.6.16
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Bind socket to interface: No such device
exiting.
Failed to bring up eth0.
done.
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.
It should.
I may have missed this, but you do have UML ethernet device support
configured?
yes I did, but the problem went away when I moved from 2.6.15.6 to 2.6.16
