[User-mode-linux-devel] Problems getting user-mode-linux to work with 2.4.0-test1 kernel...

[Chris L. <sa...@sk...>]

Hey all,

Does anyone have any experience playing with user-mode linux and a
2.4.0-test1 kernel?  I applied the kernel patch and got everything to
build (one chunk didn't go in correctly, but that wasn't a big
deal)... but it seems that something has changed in the kernel design that
is causing the console driver to not get registered... I'm getting:

...
devfs: boot_options: 0x2
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Warning: unable to open an initial console.

And then it hangs (thread blocking in select).  I'm not familiar enough
with the code to figure out how linux goes through the process of mapping
a sys_open("/dev/console"...) to a fn call in the arch/um directory...

Anyways, thanks for all the great work!  Hopefully I'll be able to help
out in a more meaningful way soon!
