Subject: [PATCH] docs: UML: Mention telnetd for port channel
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2022 13:42:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220310124230.3069354-1-vincent.whitchurch@axis.com> (raw)
It is not obvious from the documentation that using the "port" channel
for the console requires telnetd to be installed (see port_connection()
in arch/um/drivers/port_user.c). Mention this, and the fact that UML
will not boot until a client connects.
