I have successfully compiled UML (user mode linux) kernel and I want to use it with a Sid root file system. I have explored the following to paths:
1. debootstrap sid image
My kernel won't boot it. This problem might be related to devfs, but
I am not sure. I've tried configuring the kernel both with and
without it, neither works, and they both fail in the same way: init
complains about processes respawning to fast, and I don't get a
login prompt.
2. Use a Woody root file system from the UML web pages
I easily compile a kernel that boots with the root file system. When
I dist-upgrade to Sid it seems that the new glibc version (with
NPTL) screws things up and I can't spawn new processes at all
anymore.
Does anyone have any hints to solve either problem?
