Thank you Jason for your answer, but the thing is that the kernel that
cames with coLinux is not possible to mount cromfs/cramfs, even on a
pre-installed distro like ubuntu using a loop device to extract the
initrd contents of the CD.

If you look at my configuration file, you will see that I'm not trying
to boot from that, but just using as root, which seems not to work.

In any case, I'll try a full boot with that distro and maybe convert
it to another format.
