It was possible to copy Knoppix-3.2 core to HD and use it faster from there, but Knoppix-3.3 cannot find core on any (vfat, ext2, ext3) HD partitions (i.e., mount them), and also refuse to perform boot commands “fromhd” or “tohd”.

Additionally, kernel vmlinuz-2.4.22-xfs boots only from Knoppix-3.3 CD, but if it boots without Knoppix-3.3 CD it ends with “Kernel panic, cannot mount root partition …”. I tried recommended for this case: "knoppix mem=256M" without success (also tried 249M, 248M, 247M as 8M is used for integrated video, and other kernels recognize usable 248M).

What is a problem?? How to boot this kernel when entire Knoppix-3.3 (or only compressed core) is copied to HD??

Any suggestion??
Best, Alex
