I've got RH9 as the host, with 2.4.23(+SKAS3). I've just built a RH9 UML image, and i'm trying to boot off of it with a 2.4.23-rc8-uml kernel, and the boot process keeps hanging at: Initializing stdio console driver I did some Googling, and found this: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&threadm=20030606171012%24493f%40gated-at.bofh.it&rnum=3&prev=/groups%3Fas_epq%3Dstdio%2520console%2520driver%26safe%3Doff%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26lr%3D%26num%3D30%26hl%3Den which seems to suggest that this was fixed long ago in 2.5.x, but doesn't talk about 2.4.x at all. Anyone have any ideas? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman net...@li... Linux Step-by-step & TyGeMo http://netllama.ipfox.com |

If so, this is normal. It isn't hung, it just started writing the console output to a pts device. If you don't want it to go there, just remove the con= argument. -Steve |

Actually, it turned out to be a bad filesystem image. Creating another one resolved the issue. Thanks though. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.

How about a stack trace? Jeff |

I'm at a loss for what else it could be, cause the only thing that changed between the good & the bad was the filesystem. I was using the same kernel, same arguments. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman net...@li...
