This is what i found in my documentation regarding the problem.
I use Debian, but the explanations should hold on other distro's.
========================== snippet ==========================
2.4. Setup console on uml system
================================
If you don't setup the console, you might get an error like this:
Starting periodic command scheduler: cron
Init: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
or you might find yourself without an initial console and the system
looks like it's hanging.
# vi /mnt/debinst/etc/inittab (root file system of the uml is mounted
on /mnt/debinst/)
Comment out the five lines below,
.
1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty0
#1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
#2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
#3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
#4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
#5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
#6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6
Add the following to /mnt/debinst/etc/securetty
tty0
vc/0
========================== snippet ==========================
See if this solves the problem
