Hi all, I'm sturugging to access my UML through a console and serial line . I'm hoping someone can help me in the inittab config.
I've sucessfully booted into a UML kernel and I have UMLs iniitab (relevant part) as - # We launch just one console for UML: c0:1235:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty0 The problem is when I'm trying to access it from a 2nd or later console. To access the VM from multiple consoles, I read the UML book and the HOWTO and figured that I have to have inittab configured for this. To understand what inittab and its function I read - http://www.faqs.org/docs/linux_admin/x2051.html In a line like - 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 9600 tty1 can anyone tell me what "9600" means? I'm asking this because in the UML book I found - 3:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 I didn't understand what 38400 was for and adding this line in inittab caused this error - "INIT: Id 0 respawning too fast" I searched the fourm and found that the likely cause was a missing /dev/tty1. But I found UML /dev/tty1 present. So in short can someone please tell me what I need to have in my inittab so that I can access a UML console using the screen program on host ? Here is my UML startup command - ./linux ubda=root_fs ubdb=swap_fs mem=128M con0=fd:0,fd:1 con1=tty:/dev/tty1 con2=port:9000 ssl=xterm eth0=tuntap,tap0,FE:F0:00:00:00:02,10.90.90.51 umid=vm001 I have 2 suggestions - one for Jeff and another for Antonie - Jeff, Is is possible to mention the changes needed for inittab here- http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/UserModeLinux-HOWTO-5.html Newbies like myself will find it a lot easier. Antonie, Thanks first of all for the Fedora file systems - http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/ Is it possible to have the required inittab lines (commented) already in the file system ? People needing the console access can simply uncomment those lines.
