    "Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem"??

    I put my CD in and it seems to boot up fine until I get:
    Code:
    Can't find KNOPPIX filesytem, sorry.
    Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
    Press resume button to quit
    I don't know what to do about this. It happens after looking for the CD-ROM drive.

    You will have to use the knoppix cheat codes. I have used the failsafe and it worked for me. On another PC I used knoppix noscsi noapm noapic and that seemed to work too.
    I hope this helps

    Good Luck,
