Hello jdtommy:

In all, I have three Knoppix 3.4 CDs.:

04/05/2004
10/05/2004
and
17/05/2004 ....

Only the first one (first 3.4 version?) can boot into kernel 2.6 (using cheat code [knoppix26]).

The other two (which are newer versions of the 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 from the first 04/05/2004 version to the other two probably has to do with the problems we are experiencing.

I have a feeling that the problem is related to the SCSI drivers used at boot time.

Knoppix 3.4 (04/05/2004) apparently loads aic7xxx.o, megaraid.o and a100u2w.o and is able to boot the 2.6 kernel.

I'll put up a new post with just this item to see if we can get some insight on the matter from the maintainer of the installer.

Cheers,

CIV
