Can't Boot off of Pen Drive on a Dell Turion 64

[kl522]

I am a fan of Knoppix.

By any chance you have another copy of KNOPPIX ( different version ) residing say on your harddisk ?

The error usuallly means the cloop module found on /dev/sda1 is not compatible with the kernel. On my computer, sda1 is my harddisk partition. My flash is sdb1.

Yep. Right in front of my face.

So I searched my Vista partition for Knoppix. But /dev/sda1 was a hidden 48MB partition with a failed install that must have been a mistaken attempt during install to Pen Drive. I had to un-hide it /dev/sda1 with gparted because Vista is, well, Vista.

All is good. Knoppix rocks!

Thanks!
