I just d/l Knoppix 3.4 from linuxiso.org and it had 2.6.6 kernel.
Burned iso to disk and have booted into 2.6 kernel just as a test run, and everytime I boot, it lock up the screen. I can move the mouse and that is about it.
Anyone else experience this? I am doing this with a very new laptop.
thanks
[quote="timread"]I changed "sk_wmem_alloc" to "wmem_alloc" within the vmnet.tar (-> bridge.c) and then it runs fine. (There exist a compability macro to do this automatically but it seems not to work proper)Quote:

The Subject doesn't show up (but why it is there then?). What I wanted was this:
KNOPPIX 3.5 LinuxTag 2004 DVD Edition
Who knows where I can get it (other than going to Linux Tag 2004)?
Looks like it is pretty clear that linux-tag is the only way. Maybe one of our German friends can translate the linux-tag website and see if they will be available for purchace. I would like a copy of this one myself! In the mean time here is a link to an iso that you can download in the DVD forum. It seems to be based on 3.4 Cebit. I am working on a dvd remaster myself. But I am still a noob and I am learning how to tweak the window managers. The menus start to get a little cluttered with 5 gigs of stuff :)

A Linux (news - web sites) bug was recently uncovered by a young Norwegian programmer that, when exploited by a simple C program, could crash most Linux 2.4 or 2.6 distributions running on an x86 architecture.
Torvalds already has the problem well in hand, he said. "I fixed it in my [source code] tree a few days ago, so it's in the current snapshots, and if I wasn't in the middle of a move [to Portland, Ore.] I'd have released a 2.6.7 already. As it is, I'll hopefully have it done by tomorrow [June 15].
Looks like it says the same thing in German as it does in English :wink:Quote:

As I re-posted in the v3.4 C't Edition thread, there is still a problem with the 2.6 kernel boot process which will look for the Knoppix CD on IDE bus when it's really on the SCSI bus.
Is there anyway to force it to look on hte SCSI bus or do I need to copy the CD to the hard disk and have it look/run from there? TIA.
Hi everybody
I have some news but can't post new topic in news forum, so I do it here.
A spanish linux magazine "Todo linux" is featuring Knoppix 3.4 in may release, so if you buy this magazine, you can get your knoppix 3.4 Cd. You can see more visiting:
http://www.iberprensa.com/productos/.../todolinux.htm
If the 3.5 DVD kit is only avbailable at LinuxTag, is there any way thaty those of us who can't get there can get hold of a copy? I'd rather have that than download 3.4.
1) Did someone successfully have boot knoppix from the ISO file image ?
If yes how ? The cheat code bootfrom=/dev/hda1/*.iso did not work for me.
2) Did someone successfully have boot knoppix from a NTFS partition
having in its root either the loopback file /knoppix/knoppix or the iso file?
If yes how ? I tried to add the ntfs.o and add some debug in the linuxrc in the miniroot.gz
but it still doesn't work and I cannot figure it out yet ...
Please advise, Thanks...
You need WMware (windows or linux)or MS Virtual PC (windows only)Quote:

When can we expect an update to the 2.6.7 or 2.6.8 kernel? :?:
Several security issues and serious bugs have been corrected in the kernel since Knoppix 3.4 was released :!:
