This error is related with not being able to open some file.

[...]

[...]

Replace this with just:

  <initrd path="initrd.gz" />
  <image path="vmlinux" />

The "\DosDevices\" prefix is only used for kernel code that needs to
load some file, but I don't think it can be used with user code.
The block devices are loaded in the driver (kernel mode), but the
initrd.gz and vmlinux are loaded in user mode (by the daemon).

You can still use an absolute in the initrd and image config, but no
need (and I think is your problem) for the "\DosDevices\" prefix.

If it gives a different error after this change, try to replace

<bootparams>root=/dev/cobd0</bootparams>

by

<bootparams>root=/dev/cobd/0</bootparams>

This is just a guess, so if it works let us know.

woohoo!! it worked! we had ethernet problems which I solved by using 
bridged mode and winpcap then fixing speech recognition errors in the 
configuration file.

now it's mostly working right.  upgraded gentoo and with over 120 
etc-update files, I just -5ed all the updates and have been cleaning 
them up slowly.  Unfortunately, something is wrong with the modules and 
since I have no back scroll (or cut and paste) with the console window 
(fltk) I can't figure out exactly what's happening since it isn't logged.

colinux rocks!

"dmesg | less" ?

one would think.  Unfortunately, it is not.  So the only way to figure 
out what's wrong will come with a console window that has a few hundred 
lines of scroll back.

I know the developers have more important things on their minds so I can 
wait.  its working well enough for me now.

Why do you runs in Cygwin?
Sinple open a Windows Command prompt and run the daemon.
  C:
  cd \coLinux
  colinux-daemon.exe -c default.colinux.xml
