After compiling your iso file and before burning a lot of CDs, you may consider
trying it by booting from your ISO cd image file still stored in your hdd, cf:

I use it almost every day when working on a remaster. It is actually a very fast way to boot knoppix.

Does anyone know what am I doing wrong?
Knoppix by default looks for a compressed loop back file system called KNOPPIX
in the KNOPPIX directory located in the root of the boot partition.
If this is not the case, you must use the cheatcode knoppix_dir=other_KNOPPIX_directory
and knoppix_name=other_KNOPPIX_name to let Knoppix know about your custom configuration.
In your case, I assume that your local remaster is located in /dev/hda8/knx and not in /dev/hda8/KNOPPIX ...
Hope this will help.
