[Qemu-devel] Qemu mounting UML hdd images... (ext2)

[Damien Mascord]

Hi guys,

I am trying to mount a UML hdd image (COW) using qemu 0.5.2 binary 
release(since I can't built 0.5.3 yet, due to missing static libs 
etc...)...

As you can see frmo the following the linux.img and the 
Debian-3.0r0.ext2 appear to be the same file type.  The Debian image 
doesn't mount at all, complaining about not being able to find the 
partition information... as follows...

Is there anything I can do to get it to recognize both images? 

Thanks in advance,

Damien

Heya guys again,

Any idea on this?   Is there any more information that you need?
