What the UML console driver is trying to do is run an xterm on the *host*, where you have no $DISPLAY. If you want your consoles in xterms, then give it a DISPLAY. If not, then see the consoles section of http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/configure.html The only thing the UML inittab does is control how many consoles are activated. It does nothing to control how they are attached to the host.
