[uml-user] Building rootfs by hand

[Robb B. <ro...@bo...>]

I assume someone has to have run into this problem before, but I am trying to get a UML instance running using 2.6.0.  I have created a rootfs and copied the things I want, but when I tried to start the UML instance with the rootfs I built, it hangs after saying that it "failed to open config file /etc/modprobe.devfs: No such file or directory".  The strange thing is that I can see it in the rootfs.  Why does it do this, and are there any suggestions about what I can tweak to get it to work?  The UML kernel works with a generic rootfs I downloaded.

Thanks,

Robb Bossley
