I had the same problem with the CD from the book "K. Ha
The CD does work in computer A, but not computer B.
First, while booting, the message is:
Looking for CD-ROM in /dev/scd0
Then:
hda Maxtor ...
hdc CD-ROM Samsung ...
Can't find Knippix file system
So, I suspect the Maxtor should be hdc and the CD-ROM should be something
other than hdc and that's why it can't be found.
I tried tohd=/dev/hdc
but no luck. Do you have a solution?

I used DSL's tool to create a bootable usbkey. I plugged it into my fairly new Dell Precision 670 and it appears to boot until it gets to the dreaded "can't find knoppix filesystem, sorry". I have the image on a 2.0 gb Lexar USB drive. I tried typing "dsl nodma" as well as a bunch of other commands to try to get this to work, but nothing has so far. The harddrives in this machine are connected via SATA. (Not SCSI or IDE). I tried booting off of the cd and it worked fine on the same machine.
Does anyone have any clue as to why this isnt working?
I have a Dell Precision 370, and get the same error. I got it working by using a USB port separate to the base machine (a USB hub attached to a USB keyboard). The dell USB mouse does not work in X. (I have not investigated why).

I got exactly the same error with 256mb Kingston Data Traveler 2 USB key after following the instructions from
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/01...in-one-usb-dsl
The solution was to format the file system to FAT 16. FAT 32 did not work for some reason.
Can't find ..... dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
When booting from CD (first time to do this) I recieve this message:
"Can't find Knoppix file system, sorry. Dropping you to a (very limited) shell. Press reset button to quit."
I was given to understand that Knoppix may help me retrieve datat from a corrupted HD and would really like to get it going.
Any ideas?
