I've had a go at getting UML running off a partition on the host system. What I've done is:
- prepare it as an ext3 filesystem. - mount it and debootstrap a debian base system into it. - checked it works when you chroot to it. - install the user-mode-linux debian package. - run: $ linux.uml mem=128M udb0=/dev/sda5 rootflags=rw (also tried udba=/dev/sda5 root=/dev/sda5) I keep getting the error: VFS: cannot open root device "98:0" or unknown-block(98,0) (There is a longer error log than this but there's a lot and it's awkward to copy it from the machine I'm setting up on) can anyone help with this? cheers, andy Diego Ramos V. wrote: > > > Yes, It's possible, I'm going to resend a mail which was sent for a > great friend Benedict Verheyen, follow the instructions and it works out, > > - make a new directory for instance: *mkdir /mnt/new* > - mount the filesystem image on new directory *mount -o loop > filesystem_image /mnt/new > - *Now you can copy any file into fileystem *cp apache /mnt/new/home > - *umount the filesystem* image > - *run UML and install apache or any software, don't forget dependencies > - > Good Luck > > Diego R. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
