are you sure that the melix_fs was not already mounted on host with loop dev? I mean: # mount -o loop /uml/melix_fs /mnt (for instance) # ... commands # ./linux ubd0=/uml/melix_fs eth0=tuntap,tap0,,217.160.17.189 without previously unmount (# umount /mnt), it may happen that uml tells you that your melix_fs is read-only. But it should allow you to proceed with the boot process; uhm, I need time to reproduce a similar situation. Another reason could be that the melix_fs needs to be fsck'd and some inodes need to be fixed: # e2fsck -f /uml/melix_fs Let us know if these suggestion may match your case. Cheers SteX PS; from my ponit of view it sounds more a issue with the fs that with the uml kernel/skas patch. -- Stefano Melchior, GPG key = D52DF829 - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://etinarcadiaego.dyndns.org -- http://www.stex.name
