> I was just establishing a similar conclusion. I built my own kernel with that patch and tried booting Pat's gentoo image. I get 'attempt to access data beyond end of device' as before. Booting from the debian image is no problem. I dare not try my real partition again. I then decided to try resizing the debian image and here is what I did (if anyone has the time please give it a go for a sanity check):

ok,I apologize for that image.

I had it running on a vmware system that seems to handle some things more gracefully.  That system is i586 optimized, which implies mmx, which is disabled by coLinux.  you'll experience random lockup, resets, and other problems.

As for the size, that was just a 'forgot to rename image' issue.

I was working on 3 different images, and thought the one I was zipping was a different one.  If you're interested in trying a 'working' (i586 no mmx optimizations) image, find me on irc (s0be).
