    OK, now it is at least trying to read the disk but it is not happy with the disk fromat. At least that means the floppy drive is probably OK. Is the disk OK? Can you read this disk on another computer? Is it a DOS or Windows format disk (ie: file system type 'vfat')?

    the '-t vfat ' option is where it specifies the file system type. Try letting it determine the filesystem type auotmatically:

    sudo mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /mnt/test

    think kernal is hacked

    To the list;

    This is the output. the disk is fine. The little light goes on when I fiirst make the command.
    Then it goes out.
    Did you see the Sorry message that I get when I want to read my kernel? What is that about?


    knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$ sudo mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /mnt/test
    /dev/fd0: Input/output error
    mount: you must specify the filesystem type

    I tried this suggestion

    To the list;
    I tried this suggestion. Again the floppy light went on briefly and then it went out.


    knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$ mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/point
    mount: only root can do that
    knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$ su
    root@ttyp0[knoppix]# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/point
    /dev/fd0: Input/output error
    mount: mount point /mnt/point does not exist
    root@ttyp0[knoppix]#

    any ideas?

    To the list;
    I pulled this from a reply posted on a web site. It was for a CD mounting problem. I do not know how to get this kind of output. Can someone describe how to use the grep command. Can this reply be adapted to the mnt/floppy situation?
    Would lilo conf.play a role in this?

    any ideas?

    **********************



    Ok, I have just put on a knoppix 3.4 hd install, with kde 3.2.2 and the 2.6.5 kernel. My prob is as such. Neither of my cd drives are accessible, when I try to open my dvd drive, I get the following msg:

    "mount: special device /dev/dvd does not exist"

    and when I try to open my burner, I get this msg:

    unable to run the command specified. the file or folder file:/mnt/cdrom does not exist

    Apparently it is something to do with the 2.6.5 kernels scsi/ide support, so here is the output of the grep |cd command:

    ide-scsi is deprecated for cd burning! Use ide-cd and give dev=/dev/hdX as device
    sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 40x/40x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray

    And here is my relevant lilo conf section:

    image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5
    label="Linux(2.6)-2"
    initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.5

    read-only

    Is there anything here that needs to be changed? Please help, as this new setup is wonderful in every way but that, and at this stage in my linuxing carrer, this prob is a little beyond me....Strangely, k3b still shows both drives in its dialog window?! It shows the device nodes in k3b setup as /dev/scd0 for the burner, and /dev/scd1 for the dvd.

    Also- I am running an asus a7n8x-deluxe mobo
    athlon xp 2400+

    You have to mount to existing mount points. In other words, if /mnt/cdrom doesn't exist and that's what you wanna use, you have to make a cdrom directory under /mnt. But you should already have a /cdrom directory under the root directory. And if your drives are scsi, try replacing /dev/fd0 with /dev/sda for the floppy and use scd0 and scd1 for your cd-roms.

    The linux kernel config thing under KDE's control center doesn't work for anybody...so no worries.

    I found this suggestion and tried it, but,,,

    Right click on the icon for the floppy select delete then right click on the desktop and choose create new then floppy device. In the device tab of the dialog that comes up select the /dev/fd0 from the menu list name it what you want and save the shortcut and you should be able to access the floppy with the icon



    knoppix@ttyp3[knoppix]$ /dev/fd0
    bash: /dev/fd0: Permission denied
    knoppix@ttyp3[knoppix]$ su
    root@ttyp3[knoppix]# /dev/fd0
    bash: /dev/fd0: Permission denied
    root@ttyp3[knoppix]#



    NOTE: I was able to delete the icon and I created a new one but how do I find the device tab?


    Tried this as well.

    knoppix@ttyp3[knoppix]$ /etc/modules
    bash: /etc/modules: Permission denied
    knoppix@ttyp3[knoppix]$ su
    root@ttyp3[knoppix]# /etc/modules
    bash: /etc/modules: Permission denied
    root@ttyp3[knoppix]#


    any ideas?

    missing things on disk

    To the list;
    I see things in the posts about this and that extra things on the Knoppix CD. I don't know how to exactly explain this but there are things that are not showing up on these disks that I am using. When I start Knoppix 3.3 I get this file, file:/cdrom/index.html . There is a black background with a silver stripe across the middle horizontally. There are four tabs on this silver stripe. They are Knoppix info ( red ), talks ( yellow ), open music ( blue ), and links ( silver ). Is this the same on all of the CD's or is there something missing here?

    Knoppix info only has the one sheet
    Knoppix talks has four pdf documents two on free software and two on vortra
    Knoppix open music has green_openmu...,a read me txt and opensource.ogg
    Knoppix links has four links KNOPPIX Homepage, KNOPPIX Contrib Homepage, KNOPPIX Wallpaper Central and LinuxTag.Org Homepage.

    Am I missing anything from the 3.3 version? Is there other places they put these extra things/files/apps? I read the following statement and could not find the file.

    On the CD, in the "Knoppix" folder, there is a program called rawrite2 that will make a boot floppy for Knoppix. The disk image is "boot.img" - it's in the same Knoppix folder. Type boot.img when it asks, follow the directions, and you're set. (Of course, make sure it's a blank floppy you're using.)

    curious about this
