    Problem while booting customized knoppix

    Hello

    I have made a lot of progress customizing knoppix and now I have gnome 2.2 with BlueCurve, XFree4.2.99 and a trimmed size to 384 MB... I created the image file as mentioned in this tutorial http://gnubox.dyndns.org:8080/~sunil/knoppix.php

    When I try to boot to knoppix with the 384 MB KNOPPIX file in /dev/hda3/KNOPPIX (ext2 partition), I get this error:

    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    Accessing KNOPPIX CDROM at /dev/hda3...
    Starting init process.
    INIT: version 2.78-knoppix booting

    Activating swap...
    Checking root file system...
    fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
    fsck.ext2: Is a directory while trying to open /
    /:
    The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap), the filesystem is corrupt, try to manually repair and reboot.

    e2fsck -b 8193 .... <-------This command doesn't make any difference...

    CONTROL-D will exit and REBOOT the system:

    root@(none):/#

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any ideas?[/url]

    i have been recently working with creatin a kernel 2.6.4 for a Live CD.

    me and the team of developers im working with experienced a similar problem wen booting from an hard drive install of our new kernel.

    we found that the solution was to alter the /etc/fstab.

    the line that states about your hard drive may have a 0 1 at the end.

    if you change this to 0 0 it may work

    i wood have put exactly how it would look but i aint got access to a Linux comp at the mo and cant remeber it off hand

    hope my description helps

    Thanks. May be my problem was i've to run knoppix-autoconfig *before* another script, I've done a symlink from /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig to /etc/rcS.d/S00knoppix-autoconfig and now it works fine!


    The harddisk init scripts seems to be no the same from CD scripts.
