What do you think?
root=/dev/home ?

That sounds strange. It is usually root=/dev/cobd? and you need to have the proper entry in /etc/fstab in your rootfs to point to this. I remembered they have add some feature in the 0.61 build such that you can alias /dev/cobd0 to /dev/loop0 which allows you to use the same rootfs for both KNOPPIX style booting as well as colinux booting.

What does your xml file say ? you need to have a line like root=.

As I said, the xml is just the grub/lilo equivalent so it should be very similar to what a typical grub/lilo append line looks. root=/dev/home is definitely odd.

Othe than that, it is pretty normal and should have no problem running once you have that fixed. networking may be your next road block. If you use wired network, you can just bridge the network interface and the TAP device(under XP). If you are using wireless like me, you would need to enable the ICS which tells XP to be a NAT device for colinux.
