[coLinux-devel] VFS: failure using existing install

[Tim D. <td...@sp...>]

I have been trying to use an existing (working) Debian install on my
notebook.  The kernel isn't able to mount the root device.  Any ideas?
Thnx - --tim

Here is a PartionMagic dump of the disk:

Using the following config file:

    <block_device index="0" path="\Device\Harddisk1\Volume2"

    </block_device>
    <memory size="64"></memory>
    <bootparams>root=/dev/codb0</bootparams>
    <image path="vmlinux"></image>
</colinux>

I get (note Kernel Panic near end):
