Thanks a lot for your reply Blaisorblade. However, I've tried basically everything and nothing has worked so far.

I did so but it gave me a blank screen. I also tried to redirect it to an active tty (/dev/tty6) but it also didn't change (still giving me the host login). > > uml_mconsole vZFvJC config con1=pts:/dev/pts/7 (it returned OK) > > Has any program inside UML opened /dev/tty2 (first case) or /dev/tty1 (2nd > case)? No. Only /dev/tty0 is open for the initial login (fd0:fd1) > Another problem (more likely) is the slave/master problem.
