(117,0). I have followed the instruction in th readme file
and I didn't change anything in xml file.
My OS is Windows XP.

    Make sure that you have the following set correctly in the
    file "default.colinux.xml":
    a) path to the Linux root file image (case sensitive):
    <block_device index="0"
    path="\DosDevices\V:\coLinux\cokanotix.img"
    b) path to the swap file image
    c) increase the memory size from the 64MB to at least
    256MB

    Did you select one of the images from the GUI installation
    or downlod one after?

    Ensure that you have a block device entry pointing at your
    root_fs file as per the guide -
