   13. What to do when UML doesn't work

-  If you build your own kernel, and want to boot it from one of the
-  filesystems distributed from this site, then, in nearly all cases,
-  devfs must be compiled into the kernel and mounted at boot time.  The
-  exception is the SuSE filesystem.  For this, devfs must either not be
-  in the kernel at all, or "devfs=nomount" must be on the kernel command
-  line.  Any disagreement between the kernel and the filesystem being
-  booted about whether devfs is being used will result in the boot
-  getting no further than single-user mode.

-  If you don't want to use devfs, you can remove the need for it from a
-  filesystem by copying /dev from someplace, making a bunch of /dev/ubd
