again, thanks for the instructions. kernel 2.6 works on my desktop pc. it doesn't recognize the cd-rw/dvd on it for some reason. on my laptop, unfortunately it doesn't recognize my usb2.0 card, nor the cd burner, nor the laptop power management scheme. it tends to turn itself off when i try to access the external burner or my external drive. as far as the laptop is concerned, i'll install knoppix 3.3 02/16.
it'd be nice if the official 3.4 release would include both kernels, KDE, GNOME and fluxbox, klik, guarddog, and a script to download f-prot among the usual goodies. wishful thinking, i suppose.

Install Problem,
I downloaded and installed 3.4 with the 2.6 kernel onto my HD.
When i boot into Old Linux (2.4) my system runs fine.
During boot up into 2.6 i get an error message that says:
Fix your init scripts?
and then the boot continues.
I followed the install instructions but the system stalls when KDE starts up using the 2.6 kernel.
Only the keyboard reponds, no mouse and I am missing most of the drives that mounted when I used the Live CD.
Has this happened to anyone else?
Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks

if your keyboard is responding on the 2.6 boot when KDm starts up, log in as root, and run dpkg-reconfigure module-init-tools. Sounds like it might not have installed correctly. reboot, see if the hardware is recognized after a reboot.
sounds like a modules issue to me if everything works in 2.4 (insmod controlled).
th fix your init scripts thing seems to be related to IDE/ATAPI drive timing, you should be able to fix that by commenting out the line in /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh
#[ -x /sbin/update ] && update

Hey, I am able to do everything up to step 5, but I cannot boot into LinuxOLD because I require special modules to load my SATA drivers which aren't initilized yet in LinuxOLD. I can boot into Linux (as usual, without the module init tools, meaning it later errors out). Is there anyway I can accomplish the remaining tasks 5 and over without booting into LinuxOLD?? thanks.

this thread was extremely helpful but there were a few issues I wasn't expert enough to immediately understand.
I had trouble running mkinitrd. After reading the man page, I ran mkinitrd after the install, but before rebooting. i.e. I was still running knoppix off the cd. and my installation was on hda1 which was mounted on /mnt/hda1
mkinitrd -r /mnt/hda1 -o /mnt/hda1/boot/linux-2.6.1 /mnt/hda1/lib/modules/2.6.1
I suppose I could have chrooted to /mnt/hda1 and run
mkinitrd -r /dev/hda1 -o /boot/linux-2.6.1 /lib/modules/2.6.1
Also the touchpad mouse wouldn't work on my laptop so:
in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "PS/2 Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" #<---------this was "auto"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "70"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
EndSection
And that seemed to do the trick.
Now if I could just get my Xircom RealPort 10/100 pcmcia card to work......
It worked when I booted the 2.4.kernel off the c't knoppix cd but not 2.6.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

SomeProgr,
I don't have the newest knoppix, but have you tried booting up with the cd, mount the partition that knoppix is installed to and then chroot to it? After chroot, you can complete the remaining steps as Hayabusa outlined.
HTH,
Durand

Steps still required on 3.4 disto dated 2004-05-04 ?
Are the steps mentioned in the posts here still required for the recent Knoppix 3.4 iso files ?
I still get the kernel panics, but wasn't sure the workarounds listed here should still be required to get going in 2.6 kernel.
Tx, cheers de Mark @ 7tronics
