[coLinux-users] CoLinux 0.6.4 problem

[Bill C. R. <do...@fr...>]

Hi,

I was trying to use coLinux 0.6.4, but no matter what I try it won't
recognize the root file system.  It seems like the problem is either the
initrd.gz file, or the kernel.  I am not sure which.  For example I
downloaded the Debian image and renamed it root_fs so I could use the
default.colinux.xml file.  (That way I am certain I am not making a typo.)
But this is what I get:

$ ./colinux-daemon.exe -c default.colinux.xml
