[uml-user] Three newbie questions

[Klaus-J. W. <sf...@lo...>]

Hi,

I am aware of the fact that my small troubles tend to be rather 
unspecified, but maybe someone can help anyway.

I run 2.6.14-ck6-skas3-v8.2 as host and 2.4.28-bs2 as guest OS.

When I start "linux":

 1. There are many files created in the current directory on the host, 
named like "1133497700-955364", containing fragments of the output, e.g. 
"Switching to runlevel: 0". This is really annoying.

 2. For unknown reason, but apparently not related to #1, the last 
message "Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console" 
appears. Not so many attempts before, there _has_ been a working console 
(actually, at that time I had the devfs set to automount on boot time, 
which produced some problems at different places). What can I do about 
it?

 3. When I put the name of the backing file (redundantly) on the command 
line, the kernel dies (more or less) saying "Kernel panic: Segfault with 
no mm".

Regards
k.j.
