Trouble Booting to the Live CD...

[Capt. Cautious]

Good Day folks,
When I first downloaded Knoppix 5.0/0.1 It would not let me mount the HD and the error was something to the effect ' unable to mount fuse, access denied'. Then I checked the MD5 and SHA checksums and both wetre correct yet samre boot / access problem. I thought that potentiallyI had a bad iso so I downloaded it again this time with Bit Tornado. Sums checked again, same error. Does Fuse have to be complied or something to work on the 5x serioe disk?
I remain ~ In Service & In Health,

Hi,

It looks like you were trying to mount an ntfs partition. Would your problem look something like what was discussed in this thread?

Hope you find something useful from that previous discussion. Regards.

Same error here (except cdrom on this NEC Versa is /dev/hdb).

I don't think it's a bad disk. I ran md5sum on the ISO -- OK. After burning, ran "sudo head -c 730036224 /dev/hdc | md5sum" on a different computer -- OK. Booted it with "knoppix testcd" -- much CD activity for about 10 minutes, then booted (and failed) as normal.

Can Knoppix run diskless? I didn't see hard disk mentioned in requirements. But it sure does probe /dev/hda and finds HITACHI_DK227A-50. That disk is messed up; it had Windows installed on it. If /cdrom/KNOPPIX/modules/insmod tried to access /dev/hda, that would explain the I/O error. I tried the boot parameters myconf=/dev/hdb, home=/cdrom/knoppix.img (mount reported that /dev/hdb gets mounted on /cdrom), and noscsi. No difference.

Questions: what does that error (/cdrom/KNOPPIX/modules/insmod: I/O Error -- Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.) mean?

How do I tell Knoppix to leave my hard disk alone? (The existence of a noswap boot parameter is a hint that by default it would use the hard disk.)
Boot param? Get screw driver and take disk drive out?

Thanks

Haven't had a chance to post lately. But I did get the Knoppix CD and DVD both working. The CD I got it working by downloading Nero and burning it the proper way. and the DVD, was just a bad DVD. I had a friend of mine download it and burn it on his DVD player and it works great every time I reboot my computer. Thanks again. Really enjoy reading and posting here. Here's wishing everyone Happy Holidays,
