Hi all, I've been (ab)using UML now for a few days and have it all working properly, except a small oddity... With a root_fs image i've made, everything works and it will spawn three xterms just fine - one for syslog, and another two with gettys attached. This is on my home system with a guest UML version 2.6.25.4 and a host kernel with the same version (both using SKAS4). With the same kernel versions for both on another machine, i can indeed boot from the same root_fs image but this time, three xterms are spawned with no gettys or syslog instead i just get my normal shell prompt. i am thinking that this is due to some mis-configuration in the guest kernel -- but i am not sure what it might be. Any takers? Once again, thanks in advance. David |

A host shell prompt, I take it? Do you have the uml-utilities installed on this host? Jeff -- Work email - jdike at linux dot intel dot com |

Might i suggest this be folded back into the FAQ? i don't mind doing it myself. thanks! David |
