    Sorry. MAJOR oversight on my part not including this.
    The files vmlinuz & miniroot are in the 'boot.img'. To extract them, first extract the boot.img to a loopback, then mount the loopback to a mount point, then copy the files:

    (you have to be root)
    knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$ su
    root@ttyp0[knoppix]# /sbin/losetup /dev/loop0 /mnt/cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot.img
    root@ttyp0[knoppix]# mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/test
    mount: block device /dev/loop0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
    (check if the files are there)
    root@ttyp0[knoppix]# ls /mnt/test
    boot.msg german.kbd logo.16 syslinux.cfg
    f2 ldlinux.sys miniroot.gz vmlinuz
    (insert an empty floppy)
    root@ttyp0[knoppix]# cp /mnt/test/miniroot.gz
    /mnt/floppy
    root@ttyp0[knoppix]# cp /mnt/test/vmlinuz /mnt/floppy
    (check if the files got copied)
    root@ttyp0[knoppix]# ls /mnt/floppy

    The odd time Knoppix doesn't make the /mnt/auto/floppy directory when it boots. If that happens, reboot.

    miniroot.gz vmlinuz
    root@ttyp0[knoppix]#

    Hi,

    Thanks for you reply. I tried to follow your suggestions by:

    1) extracted ~700mb knoppix file from the ISO to the hard drive using winimage, to a folder named c:\knoppix

    2) extracted 'boot' folder and 'isolinux' subfolder, to a folder named c:\knoppix\boot

    3) This puts the LINUX24, LINUX26, MINIRT24.GZand MINIRT26.GZ in the folder named c:\knoppix\boot\isolinux

    So far so good!


    When I execute:

    loadlin.exe linux24 root=/dev/hda1 initrd=minirt24.gz lang=en ro fromhd=/dev/hda1

    It works just fine.

    When I execute:

    loadlin.exe linux26 root=/dev/hda1 initrd=minirt26.gz lang=en ro fromhd=/dev/hda1

    I get the "kernel panic: attempt to kill init!" error message.

    What am I doing wrong??

    Hi!

    Moustache's method's fine for me last night both linux24&26
    .................................................. ......
    When I execute:
    loadlin.exe linux26 root=/dev/hda1 initrd=minirt26.gz lang=en ro fromhd=/dev/hda1

    I get the "kernel panic: attempt to kill init!" error message.

    What am I doing wrong??
    Pls. type it correctly ommitting "ro":
    --------------------------------------------
    loadlin.exe linux26 root=/dev/hda1 initrd=minirt26.gz lang=en fromhd=/dev/hda1
    -----------------------------------------------
    in addition Do download loadlin(v1.6c) 's lastest edition
    ( from:"ftp://elserv.ffm.fgan.de/pub/linux/loadlin-1.6/update-1.6c/loadlin.exe.gz"), copies it into "c:/knoppix/boot/isolinux" before your loading linux26 kernel's knoppix3.4.

    So far nearly ok for me with knoppix3.4, but my DVD drive still can't be used as normally, sysytem seems not finding it, inserting a CD/DVD, it can't be played,
    "no such devices,etc...error"
    how should I configure it correctly under knoppix3.4? by which commands?
    meanwhile another ethernet NIC(LAN RTL 8101L chip) of Epox-8rda3g MB can't work properly, under control centre every relevent settings seemed to be ok, once trying to go online it stalled with "no network can be accesed".then I 'd to switch back to nvidia's MCP ethernet socket(LAN PHY, RTL8101BL chipset ) again to go online...... that's really strange, the two networking NICs should work as being detected already by installer,while in fact "LAN RTL8101L NIC chipset" driven by "8139too" couldn't...Does that imply the attached driver for "RTL8101L" is only suitable for 2.4.X kernel, the most updated driver from "realtek" website may work well for it?


    Moustache, Could you help me out on these issues?


    what's other Epox-8rda3g MB users' experiences with those issues?
    do share with me ,ok?

    Regards!

    Tom
