[uml-user] UML and Mandrake

[Alan M. <al...@zo...>]

Hello,

I have been playing around with this for a while, and keep running into =
the same problem.  I have no trouble with creating the filesystem, and =
getting the packages installed (I have done it both manually, and with =
UMLBuilder).  However, when I boot the UML (Mandrake 9.0), I get as far =
as:

    Running devfsd actions:  [ OK ]

and then the boot process hangs.  I have tried mounting the filesystem =
on a loopback and removing the 'devfsd' stuff from the boot scripts (and =
disabling the 'devfs daemon' altogether), but then it just hangs on:

    Starting kheader:  [ OK ]

which is just above the "Running devfsd actions" bit.

I have not yet tried any of the pre-built filesystems, because they are =
too out of date, and I know people out there have gotten Mandrake 9.0+ =
and/or RH8.0 up and running.  Am I missing something here?

TIA,

Alan Murrell <al...@zo...>
