thanks
I also get this message. I have followed this thread and created the boot disks. They work fine. However, on two different computers when I try to run Knoppix from the CD by booting from the disks I get this message after it says it is enabling DMA acceleration on hda (my hard drive), hdb (my sony rewritable), and hdc (my CD ROM). Then it says searching for Knoppix and then "Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry. Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press reset button to quit." It looks like Knoppix recognized the CD drives (I have tried the Knoppix CD in both), but it can't locate the file system. I wonder if this is something messed up with 3.4? I know nothing about linux, but was wanting to seriously consider switching. Any help would be great! Is there a command I can enter to get the thing going?

I d-loade rawwrite and d-loaded the kernel 2.4 and 2.6 now what? is there an other way?
-
This is seemingly the case of the blind leading, but I can tell you what I did. I downloaded the 2.4 files and put them on my desktop (knx24bd1.img and knx24bd2.img). Then I downloaded rawwrite into a folder labeled rawwrite on my desktop. The I opened it and unzipped rawwritewin-0.7.zip into the same folder to get four files. I ran rawwritewin.exe from that folder and then copied the two boot disk files to floppies. All worked fine and they do boot, but I still can not get knoppix to recognize the purchased (not downloaded)knoppix 3.4 cd. So I get "Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry. Dropping you to a (very limited) shell. Press reset button to quit." See my comments above.

Did you get it to read your CD? From looking around I am not the only person having the problems I described above and no one seems to know the answer. I had really hoped that Linux would be the solution to my problems, but I am beginning to wonder. All the blurbs made Knoppix sound like just the thing for the novice to try out Linux
