CoLinux W/Debian
Hi I am trying to install Colinux with debian on it and wasnt sure if I should post on here or others but I figured I would post here: I am going through installing it and everything goes right up until I go to start Colinux W/ Debian and it comes up with an error
Initrd: Unmount Failed on rootfs
Try to run coLinux without initrd. Comment out initrd from configuation.
Press <Enter> to continue.
(You hit enter and it exits the batchfile I made) I have tried to delete out the initrd text in configuration but it doesnt work with it. I was hoping you could help get this started. I wasn't Quite sure if there was a problem with the xml file I have so I posted it below in hopes someone could help.
Here is the Configuration file I have for it (default.colinux.xml):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <colinux>
- <!-- This line needs to point to your root file system.
For example change "root_fs" to the name of the Debian image.
Inside coLinux it will be /dev/cobd0
Block Device Aliasing: You can now handle most dual-boot issues
by adding an alias="devname" to block_device. i.e. alias="hda",
alias="hda1" You can do this for SCSI as well as IDE. You need
to be aware that if you add an alias, you need to change your
bootparams root="devname" appropriately (you may need to use
devfs naming in some situations).
-->
<block_device index="0" path="\DosDevices\c:\coLinux\root_fs" enabled="true" />
- <!-- This line can specify a swap file if you wish, or an additional
image file, it will /dev/cobd1. Additional block_devices can
be specified in the same manner by increasing the index
-->
<block_device index="1" path="\DosDevices\c:\coLinux\swap_device" enabled="true" />
- <!-- This is an experimental feature, it may not function completely.
<cofs_device index="0" type="flat" path="\DosDevices\C:\colinux\swap_384MB" enabled="true" />
-->
- <!-- bootparams allows you to pass kernel boot parameters
-->
<bootparams>root=/dev/cobd0</bootparams>
- <!-- Initial RamDISK (initrd) support
-->
<initrd path="initrd.gz" />
- <!-- image allows you to specify the kernel to boot
-->
<image path="vmlinux" />
- <!-- this line allows you to specify the amount of memory available
to coLinux
-->
<memory size="384" />
- <!-- This allows you to modify networking parameters, see the README
or website or wiki for more information
-->
<network index="0" type="tap" />
</colinux>

Please don't post the same topic in multiple forums, as it's against the forum rules and doing so only confuses any members that try to help you. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it just once makes it easier to keep the discussion all in one place.
