cp: will not create hard link

[rickenbacherus]

i have this problem traying to install knoppix 3.2 on my HDD.
the knx-hddinstall works great but when it copies files from cd to hdd i gives the error on the title about 15 times at 3% of the installation.
after that the installation goes on without anyother problem but when i reboot and try my hdd installation the kernel gets into panic any hint?

I have had trouble trying to format with 'xfs'. The install wouldn't complete. Also as Fabianx mentioned I have seen Knoppix do all sorts of weird things because of bad or cheap RAM.
Are you installing LILO to the MBR?
Will it boot with the floppy or do you get a kernel panic that way too?
Just a few ideas.
