    Problem with "error inserting '/modules/cloop.ko':"

    Hi!

    I am a KNOPPIX newbie, on his first downloaded and trying to boot of KNOPPIX_V5.0.1CD-2006-06-01-EN.iso (md5sum ok), what happens is said (just after localizing HD and CD/DVD player):

    "insmod: error inserting '/modules/cloop.ko': -1 Invalid module format."

    What does this mean?
    Tried searching around here, but didn't find something in this area, on an untouched 'version' of KNOPPIX.

    Hope you can get me started

    I am having an old ~4-5 years old laptop Asus F7400, pentium 366, with about 160megs mem.
    Maybe go older versions of KNOPPIX?

    keep asking, likely that is on low side for KDE, perhaps you should try diferent vm.
    try typing something like

    knoppix desktop=icewm

    when you see BOOT: at very begingin of startup

    KDE is HEAVY. too heavy in my opinion, but it is nice looking.

    Is there anyway to avoid this problem (invalid format) whilst running knoppix version 5.1?

    I wanna introduce Linux to my friends with beryl. I know I can introduce Linux by other window managers, however, this is just a demo showing and let them experience with some interesting features. In addition, they know nothing about Linux (and we live in different geographical locations). So after surveying, I found out Knoppix is a good choice because it only requires typing several words like `knoppix desktop=beryl'. Now the only problem is the invlaid format. If that can be overcame, it would be pretty good.

    I appreciate any suggestion.

    Thank you.
