    loadlin question

    Hi there. 1st of all, thank you for knoppix.

    I enjoy it so

    My question is this:

    is it possible to load knoppix with loadlin ?
    if so, could you show me the correct way to
    pass parameters to loadlin ? i tried this .bat file

    @ECHO OFF
    SET PATH=C:\LINUX;
    CD C:\LINUX
    loadlin vmlinuz vga=normal root=/dev/ram load_ramdisk=1 init=/etc/init initrd=miniroot.gz ramdisk_size=100000

    i obviously copied the vmlinuz and miniroot.gz from the boot.img and
    added the big +700 MB knoppix file and boot.cat to c:\linux.

    Helas, i get some error message about init ???

    If anyone can help me with this, thanks in advance !

    Have you tried to use it with the CD in the drive? You say you copied the KNOPPIX file to your HDD, so I'm wondering, does it work with the CD in the drive ?

    LOADLIN knoppix

    you sure can

    just use C:\KNOPPIX as the directory name, and put all your files there.

    I am trying to find a way to boot the kern2.6 KNOPPIX-big-file from DOS... anyone????

    HAH! I found the answer!!!

    dos commandline is:

    linld image=linux initrd=something [email protected]

    and the file params.txt contains the rest of the boot parameters,


    YYEEEYYY kernel 2.6 is working from DOS...

    yippieehhh
