In andLinux Beta 1 rc5, not only Ubuntu has been upgraded from edgy to gutsy, but also the CoLinux kernel has been upgraded from a development snapshot to the latest stable version 0.7.1 (which actually has a lower version number but includes more patches then the original development snapshot).
Due to the kernel update, you can't just keep your old base.drv. I suggest that you move your data / settings from the old base.drv over to the new one (see below how to mount it). If you really want to keep your old drive, you must at least copy the kernel moduls to your old partition; they're located below /lib/modules/2.6.12-co-0.7.1/.
To copy any data from / to your old base.drv, shut down andLinux, add a line to settings.txt with cobd2=C:\Path\to\old\base.drv, and restart andLinux. Then, in folder /mnt/ create a subfolder "old" and mount your old disk with | Code: | | mount /dev/cobd2 /mnt/old | You can then copy your files. When you're done, shut down andLinux again and remove the line added to settings.txt.
