Hi all,

I just burned a knoppix live CD and was booting with the CD.

I got the below message and wasnt able to boot complete with KDE .. The CD works fine in another computer.


Welcome to the KNOPPIX live Linux-on-CD!

Scanning for USB/Firewire devices... Done.
Enabling DMA acceleration for: hda [xxxxxxxxx]
Enabling DMA acceleration for: hdc [yyyyyyyyy]
Looking for CDROM in: /dev/scd0
Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press reset button to quit.

additional builtin commands avaliable:
cat mount umount
insmod rmmod lsmod

knoppix#


Then , i tried booting using the FAILSAFE mode ..with which i booted sucessfully . I then ran "sudo knoppix installer" ..the partition manager ran and i created partitions of a swap size of 300 MB and an EXT3 parition of 4.7GB . After this, the installation program is terminated and im back in the LInux kDE again.

I dont understand why this is happening and what are the suggested techniques i can use to install knoppix.

I had installed knoppix 3.3 in the past and it worked perfectly. the command knx-hdinstall doesnt work at root !!

My system configuration:

P II 400 Mhz, 128 MB ram , 48 X cd drive , 13gb + 9 gb Hdd's , INTEL 440 BX motherboard.
currently running windows 2000.



Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
