hmm, some more info: after a reboot of the host backgrounding as user "uml" without the chroot worked:
start-stop-daemon -b --start -d /home/uml/chroot -v -c uml -x linux mem=128M... i assume tap0 was somehow messed up, so i tried to run the uml as root again (with backgrounding) - it works. i tried chrooting again - doesn't work. (but only one process of the uml is in stopped state according to ps.) after that i tried the above command again - still works. so the problem is not the tapdevice it's the combination of backgrounding and chrooting. n. > hi! > > i start my UML (2.6.17.3, host 2.6.16.9) with: > > start-stop-daemon --start -r /home/uml/chroot -v -c uml -x linux > mem=128M ubda=root_fs ubdb=swap_fs con0=fd:0,fd:1 con=null eth0=tuntap,tap0 > > which works fine.
