Is there an knoppix-installer or a SCSI driver problem?
Hello all:
In all, I have three recently downloaded Knoppix 3.4 CDs.:
04/05/2004
10/05/2004
and
17/05/2004 ....
But it happens that only the first one (the first 3.4 version?) can boot kernel 2.6 (using cheat code [knoppix26]).
The other two (which are newer versions of the Knoppix CD) will refuse to boot into kernel 2.6, ending with this error message:
-------
Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press reset button to quit.
-------
Whatever was changed between the first 04/05/2004 version and the next two versions probably has to do with the problems we are experiencing.
See my other posts regarding a zero length initrd.img-2.6.5 file ....
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10615
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10385
Basically, what seems to be happening is this:
(by jdtommy)
When I use the knoppix-installer it gets through the whole process and gives a fatal error at the end saying the modprobe failed and it creates the 0 length initrd.img-2.6.5 file.
Independently of all of the above, once Knoppix HD install is done, at boot time we can see these two error messages:
mount: devfs fs type devfs not supported by kernel

-------
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2
I have a gut feeling that all of these symptoms/error messages could have the same origin and be related to a SCSI driver issue.
Knoppix 3.4 Version 04/05/2004 boots the 2.6 kernel while loading aic7xxx.0, megaraid.o and a100u2w.o (says it detects RAID which I don't have ...)
Thanks in advance for any pointers or input,
CIV
PS: Fabian F., are you there?

* V3.4-2004-05-10 (small updates)
- removed some scsi modules from the regular knoppix26 (Kernel 2.6) startup
because they are unstable. Use "expert26" to load them.
- Added script for generating bootfloppies in Knoppix "Utilities" menu
- Harddisk installer update from Fabian Franz
- "knoppix splash" fixes
- timezone and language setting add-ons
- added linlinc1 for captive-ntfs for download capabilities
- changed some e100/eepro100 network driver entries in hardware detection
- the usual debian package updates
Ciao Martin

Hello again:
Thanks for the post, horo.
But the problem still remains:
-------
04/05/2004
10/05/2004
and
17/05/2004 ....
But it happens that only
the first one (the first 3.4 version?) can boot kernel 2.6 (using cheat code [knoppix26]).
The other two (which are newer versions of the Knoppix CD) will refuse to boot into kernel 2.6, ending with this error message:
-------
Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press reset button to quit.

The version you make reference to (10/05/2004) does not boot the 2.6 kernel. The only one that boots the 2.6 kernel is version 04/05/2004.
I have come across some more information related to this:
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2
errno = 2 means that the file scsi_hostadapter is not there.
If I am not mistaken, this (scsi_hostadapter) file that modprobe is looking for should be somewhere in the /lib/modules/2.5.4/scsi/??? directory.
But it is not (at least I cannot find it anywhere on disk).
Does anyone have an idea as to what's going on here?
Thanks in advance,
CIV
