This post was first published on the discussion forum, however I didn't get any reply. Therefore I decided to post it to the mail list and see if any one has a solution or workaround on this issue.
I installed Arch Linux 2014.04.01 on an
image file formatted to ext3 and attempted to boot coLinux using that
image. I have changed /etc/fstab and replaced the corresponding lines with the cobds.
When I run the coLinux daemon I got error messages as follows:
Failed to mount /dev: No such device
Failed to mount /dev: No such device
(Yes it appeared twice, and these two lines were printed in red.)
Since indeed I have seen a filesystem called dev mounted on /dev
in another well functioning Arch Linux in my VMware Player virtual
machine, I think the error messages above simply meant that for some
reason Arch Linux failed to mount that filesystem on /dev during its boot. Possibly caused by the kernel difference because coLinux's kernel is quite out of date.
The last few lines that was printed on the coLinux console were:
Determining /, Found.

REISERFS warning (device cobd0): sh-2021 reiserfs_fill_super: can not find reise

I don't know if there is any workaround on this and the coLinux wiki is quite out of date too I got no useful information there.
