Hello all, after looking at version 4.0.2 a few times in the live mode, I decided to install it to my HD. Here's what I did and the problems I'm having.
-- created a linux partition using Partition Magic (I'm dual booting with Winblows XP)
-- booted to Knoppix 4.0.2 and typed at a terminal, "sudo knoppix-installer"
-- knoppix found the created partition and allowed me to install to it
-- after about an hour, knoppix said everything went fine and to reboot
-- after reboot, message comes to screen: "Kernal panic-not syncing:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (3,17)"

I'm somewhat a noob to Linux, but love it just the same. I think I need to restore Grub but am not really sure how. I'm at a total lose as to why there is a kernal panic. Thanks for any help.
