Same problem here with v3.8.1. No idea what might be the problem.
I can create a config on a floppy in Knoppix 3.7, 3.8, and 3.8.1 but it won't load at boot.
Knoppix floppyconfig returns the following:
"File system not autodetected, trying to mount /dev/fd0 withAES256 encryption."
It then asks for a 20 character password, but nothing works.
What am I doing wrong?
I don't have this problem with earlier versions.

I'm having the same problem. My config discs work with 3.7 but are not recognised with 3.8.1. I get exactly the same error message as the first post. I'd like to get 3.8 working as it contains FF and TB.
3.8.1 is now available on the mirrors. I've downloaded it and burnt a CD. Unfortunately, same problem - the floppy isn't recognised as having a valid filesystem. I'm afraid I'm heading back to XP, where I have FF, TB and OOo and everything works fine.
I get the same message with 3.8.1; however, 3.7 works OK. On boot-up, I get four messages about "modprobe failed . . . xxx not a directory".

There's a solution in thread: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18313, in the General Support section, courtesy of harryhood.
Well, floppyconfig is still broke but a USB drive works pretty good for config saving. I have problems withOriginally Posted by Alan Harrison
using it as a persistent home dir tho..........

Floppyconfig is still broken in 3.9
FWIW, I now have 3.7 working on the machine that I need the floppyconfig. But only with the 2.4 kernal, I tried with 2.6 kernal and got the same errors that showed up in 3.8. So it might be something inherent to the 2.6 kernal or something left out in the kernal setup.
