[coLinux-users] Fwd: Re: fsck of root fs fails

[Andreas G. <ag...@gm...>]

Hello,

I never tried the provided ArchLinux image, but the problem seems to be
that the image is accessed via /dev/hda1. It should be /dev/cobd0 or
similar. Please check the "root=" line in your LA.conf file for the
correct
device name and make sure that there is a corresponding line
cobd0="c:\path\to\your\root_fs" that points to the image file.

Best regards,
Andreas Göb
