I'm running into this curious problem. I start a uml (LFS base system) with only one interface, lo:
uml2 # ip link ls 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,10000> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 Then using uml_mconsole I add a eth device: host: uml_mconsole uml2 config eth0=mcast uml2 # Configured mcast device: 239.192.168.1:1102-1 Choosing a random ethernet address for device eth0 Netdevice 0 (f2:11:f9:d7:7b:23) : mcast backend multicast address: 239.192.168.1:1102, TTL:1 So far, it looks all right. But then, there's no eth0 device in the uml, but an eth4 instead: uml2 # ip link ls 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,10000> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: eth4: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000 link/ether f2:11:f9:d7:7b:23 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff What would the uml kernel intepret differently the uml_mconsole parameter ? Any advice appreciated - thanks. Al ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
