Hi. I have been successfully using colinux with Debian unstable for the last 5-6 months. I am presently using the 20040710 snapshot. I have also installed Archlinux as the second OS, which is used when I boot native linux. I have been toying with the idea of booting colinux with ArchLinux. Archlinux uses udev. And udev requires hotplug to be enabled in the kernel (CONFIG_HOTPLUG). Looking at the default linux-config present in the colinux-20040710.tar.gz,CONFIG_HOTPLUG is disabled. Before rebuilding the kernel, I thought it would be a good idea to get feedback from someone who migth have already tried. Can the colinux kernel be rebuilt with CONFIG_HOTPLUG enabled? Going a step further, has someone successfully used udev inside colinux? If Gentoo uses udev by default, the answer might be a big YES, but I am unfamiliar about Gentoo details. Thanks.

But I think, the /bin/hotplug will never ben call, because no hotplugging devices are supported by colinux. You have no access-rights to hardware in running Windows. So your user-level device-Handler have not enough rights to acces any hardware on your windows system. Henry |
