They both loaded for me...but you can't use insmod with the 2.6 kernel...I was prepared to try installing module-init-tools with a hd-install, but you can't install it either...the installer is missing a file called knx-templates.0.39.tgz. But it's still cool to try out the new kernel and all. :D
FYI- you can download and extract the knx-templates to your ramdisk, then cd to the dir, and ./knoppix-installer.
I'm remastering this thing right now. :)
I noticed that as well if you have a net connections setup then you need to:Quote:

Then I changed to the /boot directory and ran mkinitrd -o linux-2.6.1.gz to make a new initrd then changed the initrd= line in the /etc/lilo.conf to initrd=/boot/linux-2.6.1.gz and ran /sbin/lilo -v to write lilo and rebooted and Voila! kernel 2.6 on a HD install.Code:wget http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/insta...lates-0.39.tgz
cp /usr/sbin/knoppix-installer .
sudo ./knoppix-installer
Edit: And I had to add:
To the /etc/fstab as well to get the /sys mount needed for kernel 2.6 the directory /sys already existed so I did no have to create it.Code:## Needed for kernel 2.6
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
Hi,
for booting the new kernel take the following:
knoppix26
Bye
Has anybody with a SCSI CDROM( aic7xxx.o ) been able to get the v2.6 kernel( knoppix26 ) to boot?
The torrent from http://debian.christian-leber.de/Kno...ct.iso.torrent didnt work for me, wasnt able to boot.
However Im writing this from a good cd that I bought with the ct magazine this morning. First impressions; ps/2-mouse doesnt seem to work (both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, tried mouseconfig), screen refresh rate was autodetected as 75hz instead of 85hz (had that kind of problem with one of the earlier 3.3-releases too) but other that these minor annoyances it is a pleasure to use! Now with the 2.6 kernel kde feels snappier and knoppix seems to boot faster as well. That "live-installer" thingie is working quite well, installed nvidia drivers and pingus (that lemmings-clone) but tuxkart didnt install correctly.
All in all, Knoppix 3.4 looks very promising!
P.S.: All grammatical mistakes in this post are due to a bug;-) Seriously, the character thats supposed to go between the n and the t in for example didnt does not work for some odd reason..
Thanks Stephen...I'm gonna give this a try. I don't have internet though...that is the main reason I want to be able to load modules. I've got the knx-templates file saved to hd now though...so I should be good I suppose. I'll let you know how I come out.Quote:

damn...
So I guess my dream of getting 2.6 kernel with kde 3.2 is lost for now.
*edit*
odd... the card works in 2.4
but this code doesn't work
cp /usr/sbin/knoppix-installer .
Says I'm missing an argument for cp
I got it all installed just fine...and using Stephen's directions got it to boot under 2.6. I still can't install my netcard module...but it's a really old one, so maybe it just won't work. I ran modinfo and it says that it's a 2.4.23 module, even though i put linuxver=2.6.1 when i compiled it. I assume it's just too old of a driver...unfortunately i'm stuck with it for now though.
I get forbitten access to the filesQuote:
