Well, as I understand it, the script linuxrc inside the miniroot_ntfs.gz, is trying to load the ntfs kernel driver ntfs.o using the insmod program, these 2 files (ntfs.o and insmod) being inside the ramdisk created at boot time from the the same miniroot_ntfs.gz. (I know that the 2.6 kernel driver being on the KNOPPIX file have the .KO extension, but the ntfs.o of the ramdisk and the ntfs.ko of the KNOPPIX file look like the same, 130'865 bytes). This kernel ntfs.o driver need to be loaded by the kernel in order to read the loopback file KNOPPIX being in the ntfs partition. The ntfs.o kernel driver could have been compiled within the kernel, but for obvious reasons of size, it is better to have it loaded from the ramdisk later on. So the problem that you have is happening before the KNOPPIX loop back file is loaded and after grub have give the hand to the linux26 kernel. None of them should be in cause, but the linuxrc script may do something unexpected with your previously saved setup...Quote:

Thanks, Gilles
PS: I just got it running again on my laptop but I have no home or config files...
