IMHO, you should be able to run your partitions under kvm in a similar way =
as=20
in coLinux. (but only if you own a recent processor with some virtual tech.=

inside otherwise it's like qemu : slow).

An other clue, would be linux vserver. It may be even a better solution as=

it's more like a super-chroot.
Precompiled kernels exists under Debian, so it should be easy under ubuntu.

PS: if you're skilled, you may write udev scripts to start the stuff on dev=
ice=20
plug.

PPS: it may be difficult to specify your devices names in coLinux config, I=
've=20
never tried to host colinux partitions on an USB device.
