I tried replacing the Kernel but it didn't fly.

- I used "dd if=/cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot-en.img of=/dev/fd0" to write the boot image from the Knoppix CD to a floppy.
- Then I copied vmlinuz from the Compaq rack-mount system. Note that this kernel runs fine except it was made from the "compact" pair of floppies for installation so it doesn't have all the Knoppix goodies.
- Then I copied the Knoppix CD to the HD on a working system with "cp -r /cdrom/* /root/new_cd/."
- Then I used "dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/root/new_cd/KNOPPIX/boot-en.img" to update the boot image on the HD.
- Next I built a new ISO image with `mkisofs -pad -l -r -J -v -V "KNOPPIX" -b KNOPPIX/boot.img -c KNOPPIX/boot.cat -hide-rr-moved -o /new_img.iso .` from the /root/new_cd directory.
- Lastly I burned the /new_img.iso image to a CD and booted the Compaq with it -- everything seems okay except when I run knx-hdinstall it complains with "No swap partition could be found on the chosen hard disk. The script will be terminated"

Does anyone have any ideas on how to blend the Knoppix install CD with a kernel that can handle these "Smart" Array Controllers from Compaq?

Thanks!
