Hello!

I would like to know if anyone has Arch Linux working on coLinux.

Just got very latest arch running under colinux. There are some small issues and one big - udev, downgrading it to udev-146-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz do the trick.

I have run the image that they provide under coLinux it's not the most recent.  Doesn't have anything on it, and I don't remember being able to do anything with the read-only mode.

if you use the newest kernel verison 2.6.33.4 from the beta builds the newest udev version will work.
I have a PKGBUILD for the modules. anybody interested?

There's a new ISO version out for archlinux which now supports 32 and 64 bit images on the same CD-ROM.  This is handy, which means either image could be used to start a VirtualBox or Qemu-x64_64 session from the CD.

Wabi: I would be very interested in a short guide and the mentioned PKGBUILDs.

Make a backup. If you break this you can't boot your colinux machine!

Go to http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/tes … /packages/ and get the daemon and vmlinux package.
You can replace the versions you have with them. Don't forget to register your linux.sys driver.

Then you can boot your system and update all packages you wan't (even udev).

The PKGBUILD can be found here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37894

You first have to remove you old modules with
# rm -rf /lib/modules/*-co-*

Then install the colinux-modules package and reboot.
