Since upgrading my workstastion to SUSE 9.2 my UML virtual machines won't
start, and I'm beginning to tire of the complexity of all that.
So I'm now looking at setting up a dedicated system for
compilation/development.
At some point it occurred to me that the simplest way might be to
'de-usermode' my UML. Long story (very) short:
transfer the filesystem to the target host/partition
(loop mount the slink image, tar up contents, untar on target)
put a (non-uml) kernel on target partition
arrange for the bootloader to recognize the above
(I'm using grub)
edit /etc/fstab on target, to reflect the new situation
edit /etc/inittab on target, to get 'real' terminals (for keyboard/monitor)
boot.
For convenience I've added:
/etc/init.d/ifconf-eth0
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig eth0 10.1.1.111 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.1.1.255
symlinked from /etc/rcS.d/S40ifconf-eth0
and installed sshd (unpacked an sshd.lrp, moved files to the proper places)
in order to get network access.
It looks like it's working, so I thought I'd share in case anyone's
interested.
