UML seems totaly broken under Debian. I'll try bochs first and comme back to uml later...
My Debian (sid) Howto
Introduction
- host# show commands that are run on the uml host
- <host> show things to do on the uml host
- uml# show commands that are run on the uml virtual host
- <uml> show things that have to be done on the uml virtual host
- <host> ist linked to a 192.168.0.0/24 network with IP 192.168.0.10, gw is 192.168.0.1
- We will use proxy-arp to link <uml> to the network.
- <uml> will become an IP adress 192.168.0.100, using a tap interface managed by uml-switch
Basic configuration
host# apt-get install user-mode-linux uml-utlities
(from /usr/share/doc/uml-utilities/README.Debian)
- <host> Modify /etc/network/interfaces, and add
auto tap0
iface tap0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
tunctl_user uml-net
metric 20
- <host> Configure uml_switch to connect to this interface by editing
/etc/default/uml-utilities:
UML_SWITCH_OPTIONS="-tap tap0"
- Activate the tap interface:
# ifup tap0
# /etc/init.d/uml-utilities restart
(back from me)
To complete.. I have not been able to boot from already build uml-disks yet...
