[User-mode-linux-devel] 2.3.51 panic

[William S. <wst...@po...>]

Good morning, Jeff,
	Host OS 2.3.51, rh6.2beta.  running uml-2.3.51 as root with debian
root_fs.
	cd / ; ls -alR >/dev/null on first xterm.  Simultaneously
trying to log into xterm2 and the uml console - the ls is chewing up a lot
of cycles once the directory sectors have been loaded into ram.  On the
console:

...
Debian GNU/Linux potato usermode ttys/0
[User Mode Kernel v0.14]
root password is "root"
guest password is "guest"
rootmode login:
Password:
Last login: Sun Mar 12 05:44:31 2000 on ttys/1
Linux usermode 2.3.51-2um #5 Fri Mar 10 21:27:54 CST 2000 um unknown
Kernel panic: Bogus address in segv
...

	
	Try again, this time without "mem=20M" and "fhd1=rh6.2-root_fs" on
the command line, i.e. just ./linux-2.3.51 .  Load up a couple of
ls -alR >/dev/null 2>&1 &
's in memory (OK, 17 of them) and get another:
Kernel panic: Bogus address in segv
	on the uml console, with 
 9881 root      20   0  4124 4124  4120 R N  99.9 10.7   7:51 ./linux-2.3.51 [ls]
	showing up on the host OS' top.  Is there any thing I can do to
help debug this?


Cosmetic:
usermode:~# nice top
exec of "/usr/local/sbin/top" returned -2
exec of "/usr/local/bin/top" returned -2
exec of "/usr/sbin/top" returned -2
Unknown HZ value! (20) Assume 100.
	(then screen clears and top runs).  Interestingly, a different
pass shows Unknown HZ value! (19).  *smile*


Sincere request for help:
	Umm, I'm completely lost on how to set up the networking between
the host OS and uml.  Could you provide even the most meager instructions
for what commands to manually type to allow me to ping the host OS from
UML and to ping UML from the host OS and I'll take it from there?  I would
_really_ appreciate it.

	Thanks again!
	Cheers,
	- Bill
