I have setup a flash disk based install, using several different variations of directions, and all have the same problem.

My latest attempt is based off of:
Got Knoppix 5.0.1 successfully booting from USB key
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...ighlight=flash

The system is an LE-363 embedded board with an AMD Geode GX2 processor. 256 MB ram, 1 GB flash disk.

This does not happen if I boot from the CD directly.

The system successfully boots up to the Knoppix startup menu, then I enter "knoppix dma screen=800x600 depth=24". The screen stuff is because X doesn't properly setup the desktop, instead using 1024x786 so I loose 1/3 of the desktop. I have tried with and without DMA.

The system starts booting:

Code:
Running Linux Kernel 2.6.19
Total Memory Available: 246648kB, Memory free: 238980kB.
Scanning for USB/Firewire devices... Done.
Enabling DMA acceleration for: hdb [(none)]
Looking for CD in: /dev/hdb
It stalls/freezes/delays here for ~120 seconds. It then sweeps through all of the dev directory:
Code:
Looking for CD in: /dev/hdc
Looking for CD in: /dev/hdd
...
though those are all printed on one line. Then finds the image and continues booting without any errors.

It continues with:
Code:
Accessing /dev/hdb4...
Found primary KNOPPIX compressed image at /cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX.
Creating /ramdisk ....
Anybody have any ideas to solve this?

Thanks, Paul
