minirt24.gz

I've modified a copy of minirt24.gz, and tried to start it. I changed the startup message, and that worked, so I know it loaded properly. I used the following commands in the GRUB console:

root (hd0,5)
kernel (hd0,5)/dir/to/linux24 bootfrom=/dev/hda11 desktop=icewm splash
initrd (hd0,5)/dir/to/minirt24_new.gz
boot

I saw my custom startup message, and then it shoved the basic console at me. So I tried the normal minirt24.gz, with:

root (hd0,5)
kernel (hd0,5)/dir/to/linux24 bootfrom=/dev/hda11 desktop=icewm splash
initrd (hd0,5)/dir/to/minirt24.gz
boot

And I saw the default boot message, and get the same problem! It works, however, when I boot the Knoppix CD and from the ISOLINUX prompt, type:

knoppix bootfrom=/dev/hda11 desktop=icewm splash

So I'm wondering why. It says it can't find the KNOPPIX filesystem. Help!

Hmm dunno, but which start up message did you try to change, the one which in LILO, like sayng Knoppix bla bla bla press F1 for options...,
if that it can be changed by simply editing boot.msg file.
and picture stored in logo.16

Today, I got the same. It is a permissions issue. Try to modify this file in the same folder with root previllage. That's how I got it working.

Good luck.
