The LFS system has no $DISPLAY variable defined when it boots straight from the machine, and has none when run as UML (even though the xterm pops up). Comparing with a fs and UML kernel obtained from the internet (FedoraCore6-AMD64-root_fs), the Fedora fs is launched without any other parameter than ubd0: kernel64-2.6.22.12-am1 ubd0=FedoraCore6-AMD64-root_fs But manages to have the UML console inside the terminal where the UML was launched. No xterm. I've built the linux-LFS UML kernel with 'make defconfig ARCH=um' while the other kernel is one of the available kernels from the internet. So perhaps other kernel parameters have to be configured to permit text console interfaces. The other difference I've seen is that inittab in the KFA uses agetty and in Fedora mingetty. 0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty tty1 38400 c0:1235:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty0 It's nice to start from scratch like this because then I will learn about all the details that are taken for granted when running available UML kernels and filesystems.
