I just finished creating a customized cd of knoppix and am testing it in qemu. I get the following error:

Accessing KNOPPIX CD at /dev/hda...insmod: error inserting '/cdrom/KNOPPIX/modules/cloop.ko': -1 Bad file number

I have also burned a cd at slow speed and tested it and I get the same error. I have tested it on another machine and still I get the same errror. I checked and the cloop kernel module is in the correct directory in the uncompressed filesystem: /home/knoppix/knoppixuncompressed/lib/modules/2.6.19/kernel/drivers/block/cloop.ko

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike

cloop.ko in the uncompressed directory is not accessible until the file KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX had been mounted !

If you changed the kernel in the booting process make sure you have the right cloop module !

check with "modinfo cloop.ko " on both /cdrom/KNOPPIX/modules/cloop.ko and the cloop.ko in the uncompressed dir !

and get the right cloop.ko with the kernel sitting in the boot process ! ( cdrom/boot/isolinux/linux or what ever been there )
