Ok, so this was covered a little in another thread --

BUT ..

If KNOPPIX has a "noprompt" and "noeject" runtime parameter, passed into the kernel at boot time - WHY oh WHY aren't they honored?

I have a situation where I NEED the box to be able to reboot unattended at a given time.

I've modified lilo to pass in "noprompt" -- which brings be to the point where the system says "Preparing for reboot" and then sits there forever.

I know KNOPPIX >CAN< reboot, since when I leave the prompt up and hit a key, the system reboots / powers down normally.

What I don't understand is why setting "noprompt" doesn't work, regardless of the modified SysVInit package.

Any help?!
