Booting hdbased knoppix with lilo.
I was configuring it with bootdrake, but when I boot up knoppix w/ lilo, I get Kernel Panic, no init found, try passing init= to kernel, or something like that.
What do I need to do, to boot knoppix?

So you're using mandrake ?.. you will need to edit /etc/lilo.conf manually.
The instructions for a HD based knoppix are in
http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/HdBasedHowTo
If you have read the howto, and still have trouble, post your /etc/lilo.conf here.

Well, I got somewhere with that guide, I c+ped, the boot profile, and edited it a little bit. I made some progress, now I go into a "limted shell", that's not bash.
BTW, I used that guide to copy the files.
Code:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
default="linux"
keytable=/boot/us.klt
prompt
nowarn

Ok, well that's progress. It means it has booted and found the miniroot. So becasue it says it's dropping you to a shell, does it also say "Can't find Knoppix Filesystem" ?
Where abouts is your KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX directory/file ?
-
Yeah, I think it said can't find filesystem, not sure.
It's /mnt/knoppix/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX.

You have an extra knoppix you just need the directory and the file .

It's /mnt/knoppix/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX.
er, thats from inside linux right?
So is "/mnt/knoppix" a partition mount point? and in the ROOT of that partition is "/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX" with the last KNOPPIX being the ~600 Meg file? If so, then it should work.

Yep, /mnt/knoppix is the mount point, then the path to the file, is KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX.
So, if it should work, why does it not work?
Edit: Itried, getting rid of hda=scsi, since my hd is ide, but it did nothing.

Shouldn't the initrd line be initrd=/boot/miniroot.gz you have already specified root=/dev/hda7 so it will be looking for a /dev/hda7/mnt/knoppix/boot/miniroot.gz instead of /dev/hda7/boot/miniroot.gz.

^^Doesn't work.
[quote[[root@localhost reub2000]# lilo
Added linux *
Added linux-nonfb
Added windows
Added windows98
Added floppy
Added failsafe
Fatal: open /boot/miniroot.gz: No such file or directory[/quote]
Edit:
Should have read the entire screen. Turns out, the problem is, that it was using my mandrake kernel.
