I installed Knoppix Version 5.1.1 from a donloaded CD image to a 2Gb Compact Flash card using the
instructions in O'Reilly book:
KNOPPIX HACKS 2nd Edition, Page: 367
(Knoppix boots OK from the CD on my Dell machine)
I then installed the card in a PC/104 single board computer from Tri-M, Inc. Its called a VSX104 and has the Vortex86SX "System on Chip (SoC)" chip on it (it has an AMI BIOS on it). It starts booting OK but then gets hung. Here is some of the output:
Uncompressing Linux...OK, booting the kernel
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1]
PREEMPT SMP
modules linked in:

Call Trace:

[< " 4>] unknown_bootpotion+0x0/0x25c

<0> Kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill the idle task!
[hangs here]
Any ideas on what is happening?...
Thanks for any suggestions...
