Re: debian installer, uml, kernel 2.6
i tried to install debian sarge rc2 into an uml system. the host is
running a kernel 2.6.8-10 with applied skas patch from
http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade/patches/skas3-2.6/host-skas3-2.6.7-v7.patch
(should be ok for 2.6.8 too, debian provied only patches till 2.6.7).
the uml kernel is from
http://packages.debianbase.de/sarge/i386/uml-exp/user-mode-linux_2.6.8-1um-1.tha9.deb.
for the installer i used initrd 2.6 from a debian rc2 cd set.
the install process stop when its time to install the
kernel-image-2.6.8-5. the output of /var/log/message tell that setting
up kernel-image-2.6.8-5 has failed: /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: device
/dev/ubd/disc4/disc (wich is a logical volume on host) is not a block
device. i found a closed bug report (#257373: Support for UML ubd
devices), but a grep on /target/usr/sbin/mkinitrd return the line "echo
ubd". Can anybody tell me how to install debian into an uml system with
debian installer? Would it help to use fake_ide, fakehd as uml boot
parameters or anything else?
