 Hmmm,I'm clueless but I can speculate. I've never used RH, only
mandrake and then I just as a quick install on an alien box, where I
didn't start learning the distro, I just wanted it to work, fast.

 Which version of RH are you using? I see it is a more or less new one,
with devfs support, it might be, that it (devfs support) is not wholly
integrated into the system. Try mounting the rootfs on your host system
(losetup ...;mount ...) and check out the /dev directory, it should have
the usual devices (say ~100 files). Edit the /etc/fstab from the uml
rootfs and change the line "/dev devfs ..." to "/devfs devfs ..." and
create the /devfs dir in the rootfs-file. Umount, boot uml.

 If that works, I shall be playing in the lottery, the moon is in my
quadrant it seems. Otherwise I'm clueless.
