Well, after some fiddling, I am able to boot the current 2.6.9-rc1-bk UML on Fedora Core 2 userland. Networking comes up correctly, and everything works as expected except... syslog hangs on initialization. 765 pts/0 S 0:00 | \_ initlog -q -c syslogd -m 0 766 pts/0 S 0:00 | \_ syslogd -m 0 767 ? S 0:00 | \_ syslogd -m 0 If I run "chkconfig syslog off" then userland boots correctly, and I can ssh in or login using one of the many xterm consoles. My kernel config is attached, if someone is interested. Great work! I have no idea where my /sbin/init problem went, but aside from syslog userland is working great. Now to figure out how to get IPv6 automatically configuring itself... Jeff
