Notes for upgrading from older versions[]
Upgrading from coLinux 0.7.3 and before[]
- 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.
Upgrading from coLinux 0.6.4 and before[]
- 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.
Upgrading from coLinux 0.6.1 and before[]
- 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.
