I have a Compaq BL10e blade that I need to boot to knoppix. I have tested the CD in other servers without an issue, so I know my media is good. The server boots to the CD, but I get the dreaded "Can't find knoppix filesystem, sorry!" message. I tried failsafe, and text mode without any luck.

I'm trying to avoid buying a usb floppydrive, a coworker can bring one in next week... too bad I need to get this fixed asap. then again I suspect i might have the same trouble with a floppy drive. For the same reason I haven't emptied out my usb drive.

I suspect i just need to mount the cdrom, but I'm wicked rusty on my unix commands. any suggestions while I try to find more RAM to try booting "toram"?

Thanks!
