Hi, Is there any way to boot the .img file of colinux by another virtualization software? |

As far as I know, it's simply a filesystem image, so yes, it can be booted by using QEmu + Syslinux, for example. The kernel will have to be a non-coLinux kernel (try to match the coLinux kernel version as closely as possible) and any coLinux-specific drivers (or kernel modules) could not be expected to make sense in such an environment. I'm pretty sure I "dual-booted" the coLinux Fedora in this way. - Shao ________________________________________ From: Nabi K.A.Z.

Yes, a filesystem can be used for other virtualization programs. The only problem are the kernel modules that have to be related to your new real kernel, not related to colinux kernel.

Can you be any more off topic?!? And can somebody please stop that guy?

Hello, coLinux image files have no partion sectors. That means coLinux is a raw copy from single partition of disk, like "/dev/sda1". Qemu uses raw disk image from whole disk, partition table sectors plus data sectors, like "/dev/sda". To use a coLinux image you need to add some sectors on top fot partion table informations (32256 bytes, as I ave seen in Qemu wiki http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Images#Mounting_an_image_on_the_host).

If you install Syslinux to the filesystem image, it should be bootable in QEmu. I'm pretty sure I have done this, before. - Shao ________________________________________ From: Henry Nestler [mailto:hen...@ar...] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2013 19:22 To: Nabi K.A.Z.

Or boot QEMU to an very sparse in memory 'disk' and local loop back mount the colinux image then switch (chroot?) to it...
