Running Knoppix 3.6 from hard drive...

**MrGreen** · 08-30-2004, 09:33 PM

Followed this guide to get Knoppix on to Hard Drive...

http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.ph...HDInstallHowTo

copied over isolinux dir. to /boot on drive set up lilo (& run it

)

Will boot Ok. but then get Kernel panic...

Wondered if 3.6 loads differently to 3.4 ... ???

Would copying over isolinux work.. as before I had use loop device ??

Are you actually wanting to remaster knoppix? If so you might look into this. If you just want a hard-drive install of knoppix you're making it far more difficult than it has to be by not using the knoppix-installer script.

It sounds like you want to boot the compressed KNOPPIX image. If so, did you format your partition w/ either fat32 or ext2? I have never been able to get the compressed image to boot from ext3 or reiser partitions.

I did format drive with ext3 .... worked with 3.3 ...

I would like to try remastering ... sooo maybe look into knoppix-installer first

Will apt-get work under a full install then ?

thanks for your help

Oh, ok. If you wanna remaster then that's a different story.

And a topic I know nothing about, so I'll leave it to others...maybe try mzilikazi's suggestion of using ext2 rather than ext3.

Yes, you have full apt-get capability after installing with knoppix-installer...with the debian-like and beginner installs anyways. But I don't guess that'd do you any good for remastering.

**MrGreen** · 08-31-2004, 05:11 PM

Its Ok. I cannot make up my mind yet what to do... if you do a full install then is little need to remaster..

I may as well use apt-get keep system up to date

Will I be able to use ext3 ??? for full install

Thanks again

Mr Green

Yes, ext3 is the default. Reiser is also an option. I would suggest you use the debian-like install.

Thanks you

debian install via knoppix-installer no problem ... booting via lilo gave VFS Kernel Panic

so tried boot disc worked perfectly .. now running from Hard Drive...

Why it works from floppy & not lilo I do not know but I will try to figure out why

Unless someone has had the same problem & maybe a solution ?
