No it means that I did not have telnet-server-0.17-41.fc8.x86_64.rpm, installed on the host :-( Still can not get a login session on the 32bit UML example. the 64bit example works. After a failed attempt. mount -o loop FedoraCore5-x86-root_fs mnt and looking at the log files. Suggest that mingetty is having problems accessing the device. If I try the same filesystem and UML kernel on a machine with a 32bit VIA C3 processor running Fedora8 32bit, I get a login. The only significant difference I can find in the logs is right near the end of the messages file. when the 32bit machine logs some additional modprobe errors but then goes on to work..... tail section of messages file on 32bit. ====================== Feb 11 15:45:10 localhost kernel: EXT3 FS on ubda, internal journal Feb 11 15:45:10 localhost kernel: line_ioctl: tty0: ioctl TIOCLINUX called Feb 11 15:45:11 localhost last message repeated 11 times Feb 11 15:45:12 localhost modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.22-rc2/modules.dep: No such file or directory Feb 11 15:45:12 localhost modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.22-rc2/modules.dep: No such file or directory Feb 11 15:45:12 localhost kernel: line_ioctl: tty0: ioctl TIOCLINUX called Feb 11 15:45:40 localhost modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.22-rc2/modules.dep: No such file or directory ====================== dmesg 64bit ======== Linux version 2.6.22-rc2 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-51)) #342 Wed May 23 11:56:49 EDT 2007 On node 0 totalpages: 8192 Normal zone: 64 pages used for memmap Normal zone: 0 pages reserved Normal zone: 8128 pages, LIFO batch:0 Built 1 zonelists.
