Do you really need a full blown disk image with a inittab? I would use hostfs. E.g: ./linux rootfstype=hostfs init=/path/to/work/doit.sh con=null con0=fd:0,fd:1 &> uml.log < /dev/null BTW: When doit.sh is done UML panics with "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!". This is okay. Anyway, what is the exact command-line which causes UML to hang? Can you provide me a stand alone test case? -- Thanks, //richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
