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 Possibly caused by the kernel difference because coLinux's kernel is quite out of date.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. Mounting / REISERFS warning (device cobd0): sh-2021 reiserfs_fill_super: can not find reise rfs on cobd0 EXT3-fs (cobd0): recovery required on readonly filesystem EXT3-fs (cobd0): write access will be enabled during recovery EXT3-fs (cobd0): recovery complete EXT3-fs (cobd0): mounted filesystem with writeback data mode kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds Modules already installed. Closing / EXT3-fs (cobd0): using internal journal EXT3-fs (cobd0): mounted filesystem with writeback data mode VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) on device 117:0. Trying to move old root to /initrd ... kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds /initrd does not exist. Ignored. Unmounting old root Trying to free ramdisk memory ... okay Freeing unused kernel memory: 140k freed Failed to mount /dev: No such device Failed to mount /dev: No such device I don't know if there is any workaround on this and the coLinux wiki is quite out of date too I got no useful information there. |
