[uml-user] can't start postgresql

[Daniel S. <cod...@bl...>]

Hi, 

I can't start postgresql in the user-mode-linux, the systems freezes
just right after I run /etc/init.d/postgresql start

I use the debian image on the user-mode-linux.sf.net homepage and
upgraded to unstable. I had to install postgresql in the chrooted
loopback mounted rootfs. If I tried to install postgresql directly in
the uml it would freeze because the daemon is supposed to start after
the installation. So, the chrooted installation was just a work around
to get postgresql installed.

I have enough ram and swap space allocated and the proc device is
mounted. There is nothing written to /var/log/postgresql/postgres.log or
any other log file which indicates that there is a problem.

What could cause this freeze?

the uml uses kernel 2.4.26-3um
my computer has kernel 2.6.7

thanks for your help

regards,
daniel
