Newbie Problem - Unable to mount root fs on 01:01 etc
I am very new to using linux/Knoppix. I am using v3.1 Rel 01 01 2003 beta
After I type in knoppix lang=us I then get - initrd extends beyond end of memory (0x0eff452e > 0x0eff0000 and
Kernal Panic:VFS Unable to mount root fs on 01:01
If I use failsafe I just get the kernal panic.
I am very new to Knoppix and linux and obtained the disk so I could see how linux works by just booting from the cd
Any help would be appreciated
Regards

Hi Tony. You should check out the cheat code list in the Docs section. There are two things there that may help.
There is an option to specifiy memory size. There is a comment that goes along with this option stating, "Some Boards apparently don't pass the proper memory size to the linux-kernel. It may cause the message "Panic cannot mount root file system" and the system hangs." This may be the source of your problems.
Also I suggest using the testcd option. It may be that you have a bad disc.
Try these things out and let us know how it goes.
Cheers.
