The user mode linux binary included in host-k_um-2.4.21-99 and the binary I built from kernel-source-um-2.4.21-135 both seem to exhibit the same problem. They hang right after mounting the root file system and attempting to execute /sbin/init.
Has anyone successfully ran a UML with a SuSE built kernel?
Yes, but booting RH root filesystem.
I've come across the kernels from kraxel (http://www.suse.de/~kraxel/uml/kernels/) but they too are precompiled from an unknown source with out the patches I need.
I bet you, it is related to boot_splash. I can't look into the problem deeper right at the moment, but I seriously suspect boot_splash. Either disable boot_splash in the kernel or in the init scripts. Regards, -Kastus
