Feature #3295
UML: configure boot image for Ubuntu
0%
Description
I'm not sure how to classify or assign this.
I use UML a lot for efficient development of the kernel code. This
uses a disk image, built using ceph src/scripts/build_debian_image.sh,
but the resulting image is a Debian environment.
I would like to use an Ubuntu environment instead. I built another
script based on build_debian_image.sh in hopes it could be generalized
a bit and used for more than just Debian. The result builds a (mostly)
bootable disk image, but it fires off a lot of terminal windows that
aren't wanted, and none of those actually function as terminals. Nor
does the "console" (the window in which uml was started) function.
If I use the identical UML kernel on an image using the Debian script
it works OK, so there seems to be something different about the
Ubuntu environment that causes this.
I have attached two files:
- The script I wrote, which once it works should be checked in
as ceph src/script/build_ubuntu_image.sh.
- The config file I used when building my UML kernel
To run UML I use ceph src/script/run_uml.sh
