Thanks for the confirmation.

How consistent is this?

I just tried a bunch of times with the recipe you gave, and saw no problems.

[uml-user] cannot start uml with cow

This may be a simple question but I can't figure out what's wrong
from the error messages and found nothing useful googling.

I can start uml with the Fedora guest root fs from
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/  like this:

./linux-2.6.22-rc2 mem=128M ubda=FedoraCore5-x86-root_fs  umid=fedora1

However, when I try to specify a cow file the boot is unsuccessful:

./linux-2.6.22-rc2 mem=128M ubda=cow1,FedoraCore5-x86-root_fs  umid=fedora1

The file cow1 does not exist but it is created. Here is the output when I
issue the command:

martin <at> venus:uml$ ./linux-2.6.22-rc2 mem=128M
ubda=cow1,FedoraCore5-x86-root_fs  umid=fedora1

Hello,
I guess you should not pass the FedoraCore5-x86-root_fs argoument,
once you created the cow file.
Simply pass ubda=cow1, and try again.

Re: [uml-user] cannot start uml with cow

I tried it:

martin <at> venus:uml$ ./linux-2.6.22-rc2 mem=128M ubda=cow1  umid=fedora1

However, I'm still getting the same output and uml doesn't boot.

Mmh... very strange issue this one....
I usually boot using my cow files doing as it follows:

linux ubd0=mycow.cow ubd1=swapfs.debian eth0=tuntap,,,host_ip_address mem=512M

Check also the cow file permission rights: I set my cow file in this way:
chmod 644 mycow.cow

At the end, you will have something like that:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 839909376 Nov 10 11:52 rootfs.debian
-rw-r--r-- 1 umluser umluser 840126464 Nov 10 11:57 mycow.cow

Let me know! ;-)

The permissions are ok:

martin <at> venus:uml$ ls -l

-rw-r--r-- 1 martin martin 1611019264 2008-01-02 08:36 cow1

-rw-r--r-- 1 martin martin 1073742848 2007-12-22 16:45 swap

I have two fs images because I downloaded a fresh unmodified copy from
the internet:
http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/FedoraCore5/FedoraCore5-x86-root_fs.bz2

Is it possible that there is something wrong with the fs image online.
I can't boot it
specifying cow on the command line.

Mmh, I don't know, but maybe. I've  never used a pre-built image from
nagafix.co.uk.
I always made filesystems by myself using debootstrap (if you need
details, please let me know).

I tought it was a permission issue becouse of this message:
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.

But I guess the problem is here:
Creating "cow1" as COW file for "FedoraCore5-x86-root_fs"
 ubda: unknown partition table

It is so strange, you are able to start UML using the root_fs and not

Dear Martin,
my uml filesystem contains a simple /etc/fstab (only two lines):
/dev/ubd0 / ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/ubd1 none swap sw 0 0

One for the root filesystem and one for the swap. I think your is similar.
Maybe the root filesystem you are using is configured in order to be
loaded using ubda instead ubd0/1 etc.. But it's the same.
You can eventually try to set your fstab like this one:
/dev/ubda / ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/ubdb none swap sw 0 0
