I am trying to use rootstrap to build a uml image. Unfortunately it has got to the point where its trying to fetch packages from the debian mirror and the network is hanging.
I have set it up to use the uml_switch daemon. The switch daemon is connected to a tap device (tap0) which itself is connected into a bridge with the external (2) ethernet cards of the host. In otherwords the whole network inside the host should behave as though its part of the same single ethernet lan of the rest of the network. [This is a crucial assumption - is it right?] Unfortnately, when I bring the user mode linux instance up, it doesn't seem to be contactable. From the outside I try and ping it, from inside the attempt to fetch packages times out. I can't see how to find out what is not happening.
