Chaps, I'm creating a script to generate a Slackware 12.0 based root file system and also a script to run the uml machine. I'm running into a spot of bother - it seems to mount the filesystem but complains about 'unknown partition type' and cannot write to the disk (image) even if I pass 'rw' on the uml command line. See extract of boot sequence below. This I think is preventing udev from working.
One issue that is a little cloudy is whether a root image needs to be an image of a file system or an image of a disk with partition table, partitions containing file systems. Googling and examining working file systems I have downloaded indicates the former, as well as my previous uml experience. Any ideas? Thanks, Pete Root filesystem build script at: http://www.petezilla.co.uk/mkroot4 Part of the output from the uml boot sequence: NET: Registered protocol family 1 NET: Registered protocol family 17 Initialized stdio console driver Console initialized on /dev/tty0 Initializing software serial port version 1 ubda: unknown partition table kjournald starting.
