Re: [uml-user] UML halts at "Netdevice 0"

[nils t. <use...@ni...>]

Hi *,

i have the same problem. And when i boot the uml (uml-patch-2.4.26-2) 
without any "ethX=" option it stops with

  NET4: Linux TCP/IP 1.0 for NET4.0
  
instead of "Netdevice 0". Same happens with "CONFIG_UML_NET_TUNTAP=N"
or even with "CONFIG_UML_NET=N", so this issue seems to be not related 
to TUN/TAP.

/nils.

ps: host is FC2 running static 2.6.7-smp vanilla + skas3
