This page should be used to collect information on how to use the current Ubuntu version 9.10 Karmic Koala with coLinux.

Kernel Version

The mountall program used in Ubuntu Karmic uses /proc/self/mountinfo to ensure partitions are mounted properly. This file has been introduced by the linux kernel version 2.6.26. However, even the coLinux 0.80 development branch uses version 2.6.25 and therefore not provides this file, which causes mountall to report the following error and to stop the boot process:

mountall:/proc: unable to mount: Device or resource busy
mountall:/proc/self/mountinfo: No such file or directory
mountall start/spawned, process 787
mountall: root filesystem isn't mounted
init: mountall main process (787) terminated with status 1
General error mounting filesystems.
A maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and re-try.

So far I guess there is no solution but to wait for a coLinux kernel refresh.

Just in case I'm wrong, I asked the mountall maintainers for an alternative solution.
