Hello all:
In all, I have three recently downloaded Knoppix 3.4 CDs.: :lol:
04/05/2004
10/05/2004
and
17/05/2004 ....
But it happens that only the first one (the first 3.4 version?) can boot kernel 2.6 (using cheat code [knoppix26]).
The other two (which are newer versions of the Knoppix CD) will refuse to boot into kernel 2.6, ending with this error message:
-------
Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press reset button to quit.
-------
Whatever was changed between the first 04/05/2004 version and the next two versions probably has to do with the problems we are experiencing.
See my other posts regarding a zero length initrd.img-2.6.5 file ....

Basically, what seems to be happening is this:

When I use the knoppix-installer it gets through the whole process and gives a fatal error at the end saying the modprobe failed and it creates the 0 length initrd.img-2.6.5 file.
Independently of all of the above, once Knoppix HD install is done, at boot time we can see these two error messages:
mount: devfs fs type devfs not supported by kernel
-------
-------
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2
I have a gut feeling that all of these symptoms/error messages could have the same origin and be related to a SCSI driver issue.
Knoppix 3.4 Version 04/05/2004 boots the 2.6 kernel while loading aic7xxx.0, megaraid.o and a100u2w.o (says it detects RAID which I don't have ...)
Thanks in advance for any pointers or input,
CIV
PS: Fabian F., are you there? ;-)
