Bug #1780633: Skip negative timestamp glitches from QueryPerformanceCounter.
Bug #3071698: Replace co_div64 with more accurate div64_32 from linux-2.6.33.5
scsi: Reading disk from offset at 1TB and above was faulted with end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 2147483648
scsi: Set scsi_level = SCSI_SPC_2, supress warning "READ CAPACITY(16) failed".

Update Linux kernel to 2.6.33.7
Change CONFIG_REISERFS_FS as compiled in, instead as module.
Enable CONFIG_SERIAL_COOPERATIVE(_CONSOLE) for serial boot console.
Enable CONFIG_KEYS (FeatureReq #3094228).
Enable more file systems: ADFS_FS, AFFS_FS, ECRYPT_FS, HFS_FS, HFSPLUS_FS, BEFS_FS, BFS_FS, EFS_FS, VXFS_FS, HPFS_FS, QNX4FS_FS, UFS_FS, NFSD_V4.
Enable new CIFS features: CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH, CIFS_UPCALL, CIFS_XATTR, CIFS_POSIX, CIFS_DFS_UPCALL, CIFS_EXPERIMENTAL
Serial: Remove worker thread. Simple direct post chars in tty buffer, remove semaphores and race conditions. (Suggest by Paolo Minazzi)

Some dev distries increase eth1, eth2, eth3, ... on every boot. Typicaly have no network, but can see it with "cat /proc/net/dev". As workarrount set an unique MAC address for all network interfaces in config file. Or disable udev.

Debian: Remove all entries from /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules

See modifications for Wubi and other distributions.

XML config files have been removed. Use the command-line syntax in a name=value per line plain text file instead (see colinux-daemon.txt):
kernel=vlinux

mem=32

cobd0=path\root_fs

cobd1=path\swap_fs

eth0=slirp

root=/dev/cobd0

ro
Replace the -c name with "@name" as parameter for colinux-daemon.
Locate for tool "colinux-xml2cfg", a XML to CFG converter for coLinux on SF or here
The file initrd contains no modules. Modules are only in the file vmlinux-modules.tar.gz. The initrd extracts modules over device cofs31 automaticly, if you configure it as initrd=initrd.gz in config file. After modules are installed, you can remove the initrd from config.

Gentoo users need to be careful, Gentoo tends to use devfs when upgrading from 0.6.1 and so block device names change from cobdX to cobd/X and render the image unbootable. For more details and solutions see the 2.6 related information on the Wiki.
