Has anyone been able to get UserModeLinux to work under CentOS5? I've got an image which works fine under CentOS4.4 but when I try it under CentOS5 then it hangs just after mounting root
kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
Now, I'd read this was a known issue because of a UML bug which newer host kernels exercised, so I downloaded the 2.6.21-rc7 kernel and tried using that as a guest, but still no luck.
Host kernel: 2.6.18-8.1.1.el5
Guest kernel: Linux version 2.6.21-rc7
This is on an SMP box, if that makes a difference, but it shouldn't because CentOS 4.4 ran just fine as the host.
I'm running out of ideas :-(

I've just tried a similar thing with the same result: a UML setup that worked under CentOS 4.4 fails in 5.

I suspect it might be related to this Fedora Core 6 bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225583
I see the same failure on an FC6 host.
