How do I start the iso of the harddisk with lilo?
I have put the following into /etc/lilo.conf
Code:
image=/boot/knoppix/linux
label="knoppix"
initrd=/boot/knoppix/minirt.gz
append="ramdisk_size=100000 fromiso=/dev/hda2/KNX.iso screen=1280x1024 lang=de"
The knoppix kernel boots, but can't find the image. hda2 is an ext2 partition, knoppix version is KNOPPIX_V4.0.2DVD-2005-09-23-DE.iso, checksum is ok. What am I doing wrong?
TIA, Helge

Try to use my minirt_ntfs.gz instead of the minirt.gz of the cd/dvd, even though your iso file is not on a ntfs but a ext2 partition:
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...1796&start=276 and Windows Partition PMI
Good luck and let me know if it is working for you.
Thanks, Gilles

Thank you, minirt_ntfs worked together with the bootfrom parameter :
Code:
image=/boot/knoppix/linux
label="knoppix"
initrd=/boot/knoppix/minirt_ntfs.gz
append="ramdisk_size=100000 bootfrom=/dev/hda2/knx.iso screen=1280x1024 lang=de"
With minirt.gz it told that it mounted the ext2 partition too, but I am unable to tell details because I could not access /static/busybox and thus had no shell commands.

What other types of partitions are supported? Is it supposed to work from Reiserfs as well?

I can read some lines in the linuxrc trying to load reiserfs but I have never tried it since I don't have any reiser partition on my systems. If not working it could probably be fixed. Can someone try to boot from the iso being in a reiser partition using my minirt_ntfs.gz ?
Thanks, Gilles

When I tried booting the image of an reiserfs partition I got to the minishell (with working busybox) only. Please tell me what kind of additional information you need. TIA, Helge

Thank you for the testing and response. From busybox can you mount/read/access files in your Reiserfs ?
Do you know if Reiser support is built-in the knoppix kernel or a modprobe module is required ?

From busybox I could not mount the reiserfs partition (told me "invalid device"). Knoppix is using reiserfs as a module:
Code:
$ lsmod|grep fs
autofs4 19076 1
reiserfs 231024 0
unionfs 68088 1
ntfs 163600 0

Done. I had to add the /modules/reiserfs.ko module and update the linuxrc boot script in the the minirt_reiser.gz ramdisk. Please find it here: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...?p=94216#94216
Enjoy and please give me some feedback,
Cheers, Gilles
