Upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) on Colinux
After upgrading my colinux filesystem from Ubuntu 9.10 to Ubuntu 10.04, it stopped booting. It would just freeze after the message:
EXT3-fs (cobd0): mounted filesystem with writeback data mode
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) on device 117:0.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 140k freed
After some time I discovered that "mountall" was blocked trying to mount the root filesystem. So I just removed the line:
/dev/cobd0 / ext3 defaults 1 1
from /etc/fstab, and everything worked perfect.
Removing the line was not easy, however, as I couldn't boot the system. I ended up download andlinux again, in order to get the original base.vdi, boot from it, but adding my filesystem image as a block device too, and then mounting and editing fstab. This is a snapshot of the settings.txt file I used in order to boot and recover fstab:
kernel=vmlinux
mem=64
root=/dev/cobd9
#initrd=initrd.gz
cobd9=Drives\base.vdi
cobd0=Drives\ubuntu.img
cobd1=Drives\swap.img
eth0=pcap-bridge,"LAN",00:0C:29:74:72:2B
eth1=tuntap,"TAP-Colinux",00:11:22:33:44:55
