learning UML - unable to start
 
Hi,

I was trying to run UML.
I have downloaded and unzipped 'linux-2.6.24-rc7' and also 'Fedora18-x86-root_fs'.
Now I executed commands as follows :
Code:

chmod chmod 755 linux-2.6.24-rc7
./linux-2.6.24-rc7 ubda=./Fedora18-x86-root_fs  mem=128M

The output is as follows :
...
Code:

console [tty0] enabled
Initializing software serial port version 1
console [mc-1] enabled
 ubda: unknown partition table
EXT3-fs: ubda: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240).
EXT2-fs: ubda: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240).
List of all partitions:
6200    2097152 ubda driver: uml-blkdev
No filesystem could mount root, tried:  reiserfs ext3 ext2
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(98,0)

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Can someone please explain me what kind of problem am I facing.
My host system is Ubuntu.

Is there any reason why you need to run a UML kernel? Why not use Xen or KMS? I certainly wouldn't use Fedora's layout on an outdated, unsupported, release candidate kernel. I strongly suggest becoming more familiar with your distribution before blindly running commands like that.
