[uml-user] Starting an UML in the background

[Eric M. <mai...@gm...>]

Hello list,

I'm trying to run an UML in the background, but when I start with the 
following command, the UML hangs while booting at "Initializing stdio 
console driver":
host# linux ubd0=rootfs eth0=daemon,,unix,/tmp/umlswitch1 mem=64M con=none

I also already tried to background the process with a "&" (with "con=pty 
con0=fd:0,fd:1" instead of "con=none", which works fine when not 
backgrounded) and ended up with the same error.

Hostkernel is 2.6.7 with skas patch, UML kernel is 2.6.6.

My /etc/inittab in the rootfs looks like this:
[...]
# TERMINALS
c0:1235:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 console linux
[...]

Since I need to boot this rootfs also with the options "con=pty 
con0=fd:0,fd:1" I guess I got to let the inittab like that.
Any help is very appreciated!

Regards,
Eric
