Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem 3.7 vs 3.4

[mariuss]

Recently I tried Knoppix 3.7 and a copule of other distributions based on it and none of them will boot on my computer, the error message is "Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem...". I checked the MD5, it is OK.

This is quite strange since Knoppix 3.4 boots just fine.

It turned out that I have to use the atapicd option, this will get the system booted properly.

It is possible that something is strange with my system, but how come 3.4 works fine?

A friend of mine tried 3.7 and had the exact same problem. The similarity between our systems is the fact that we both have two CD drives, a plain CD drive and a burner drive. The burner is the master drive, we are booting from it.

I thought I'll mention this just in case something can be fixed in the latest Knoppix.

Cheers,

I could not even boot the CD with "knoppix atapicd" option. And I've got the knoppix.iso of size about 570MB.

And what results did you get when you checked the md5 sum?
