but the partition with knoppix is /dev/hda5 (according to md5sum the image is valid)
If you have a partition with a /KNOPPIX directory and/or a KNOPPIX file you may want to be very carefull.
The linuxrc script is now poorly written and is a real patchwork. Try to rename or remove any /KNOPPIX directory or /KNOPPIX filename you may have on all your partitions and try again. The existence of such directory may fool the script which may try to load portion of the data from the iso and portion from the /KNOPPIX directory. I have it working without any problem on a couple of my systems. Please let me know. Best Regards,
