The rest is harmless, and may help. Note that if you use con=pty rather than con=xterm, you'll need to connect to the consoles manually and look for them. Plus /dev/pty* are deprecated, and some host kernel don't support them any more. At least, using con=pts is more modern (it's supported on any recent kernel). > [42949373.420000] Console initialized on /dev/tty0 > [42949373.420000] ubda: unknown partition table > [42949373.420000] kjournald starting.

Maybe I'm missing some console related option in the kernel > config? It's possible. I would first check also if init=/bin/sh makes it boot, to distinguish between fs problems and console problems. Also, remember to "mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.away" in the guest fs. Due to a bug in kconfig, which wasn't fixed because the fix wasn't nice, if you do "make *config ARCH=um" on an empty tree it may pick as default values from /boot/config-`uname -r`. To avoid this, you need to move away your .config and do: make defconfig ARCH=um and only afterwards, depending on your taste for configuration tool, make {menu,x,g}config ARCH=um i.e. either make menuconfig ARCH=um or the other similar ones. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
