Category: Install Problem (example) Group: v1.0 (example) Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Booting a WUBI image from c:\ drive in CoLinux Initial Comment: I am trying to boot an image that was installed by WUBI on my C:\ drive. If someone could help me get this working, then Linux would basically run natively from within Windows without requiring any new partitions. That would be awesome. WUBI puts its linux image in the location C:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk So I modified the example.conf file to say cobd0="C:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk" But alas it does not boot properly. I have included a dump from the screen of what colinux-daemon.exe outputs when it is trying to boot. It just repeats request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c a few times and then hangs. I think it is to do with the line ReiserFS: cobd0: warning: sh-2021: reiserfs_fill_super: can not find reiserfs on cobd0 that comes up when it is booting. I think this may be because I left the root pointing to root=/dev/cobd0 in the example.conf file when maybe WUBI takes it from somewhere else. Help would be greatly appreciated!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Henry N.

I am willing to help move this idea forward as I believe it has value. I have about ten different PCs I can use to test this if I can make it work. So before I start I would like to know if there was any progress since January when this was initially posted. Thanks! Sergio. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Henry N. (henryn) Date: 2009-01-04 20:22 Message: Oh, sorry, have not seen your attchement. Please forget the scsi stuff. cobd is ok, the filesystem ext2 was mounted correctly. But you need to prepere some thing before you can run it. I don't know all. First, install please the modules manualy. The modules are in the file vmlinux-modules.tar.gz in your coLinux directory. Run WUBI and unpack the modules file as root with this command: tar xzf vmlinux-modules.tar.gz -C / Check, on what mount point is your file mounted. It is something like sda1 or hda1. WUBI does not know "cobd0". Use the mount you found from running WUBI and replace the cobd0 in the colinux config with this. Remove initrd from colinux config. For the first boot, bypass the normal runlevel to have a simple shell. Add this to your boot parameters: init 1 or init=/bin/bash I think there needs more work to bypass the loop mount. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Henry N. (henryn) Date: 2009-01-04 20:09 Message: I'm afraid, that WOBI does not use a raw single partition in the file. If WUBI use whole disk with partitions and it is only one file, You can try to replace this lines: cobd0="C:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk" root=/dev/cobd0 with scsi0=disk,"C:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk" root=/dev/sda1 The scsi0 is usable only in the devel version, you can get it from http://www.colinux.org/snapshots/ For more help, I need to kwon how WUBI store the data in the file. Please post the the output from 'mount' running under WUBI here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=622064&aid=2485983&group_id=98788 |
