Re: [uml-devel] Error running UML

[Etay M. <eta...@gm...>]

Thanks for your response.

I tried running it with a simple: ./vmlinux ubd0=3Droot_fs.2005062201
and now it says:

[42949373.420000] Console initialized on /dev/tty0
[42949373.420000] ubda: unknown partition table
[42949373.420000] kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
[42949373.420000] EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
[42949373.420000] VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
[42949373.420000] Warning: unable to open an initial console.
[42949373.420000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Looks like it mounted the root file system but has a problem opening
a console. Maybe I'm missing some console related option in the kernel
config?

Thanks,
