Hello all!

I've been reading up quite a bit on DSL and man, let me tell you it's amazing.

I've been running it from QEMU in Windows, no problem.  I did the installation on a Verbatim U3 USB Key and I'm very pleased... the issue however is when running it from bootup.

When I boot I hit 'F2' to enter my setup and check the boot sequence... under disk drives, I see both the USB Key and the Hard Drive.

I choose the USB Key as a primary device and boot, it goes to the main DSL splash page and then to the DSL page with Tux in the top-left...

Next, I get that error:  "KNOPPIX Filesystem not found, sorry."

I'm now in a (very) limited shell.

I'm not sure what I did wrong as it works from Windows.  I did run syslinux on my USB key and the ldlinux.sys file was created successfully... hence why I get the first DSL splash screens I guess...

Any help?  I think it might be path related but I'm not sure which file to edit.

Thanks in advance,

J

where exactly is the KNOPPIX directory in your USB key? You can pass the knoppix_dir and knoppix_name variables at the boot time. I don't know exactly how to pass kernel command line arguments in syslinux (using GRUB here), but here's what my kernel command linux would look like if I had that problem:

Code Sample
root=/dev/sda1 ro dma host=teststation lang=us toram noeject restore=sda1 knoppix_dir=KNOPPIX knoppix_name=KNOPPIX frugal


where the directory KNOPPIX and the file KNOPPIX are in sda1 itself.

Good luck.

I'm having the same problem.  I tried adding the knoppix_name and knoppix_dir to the boot line in grub.  No dice.  Seems like the Knoppix Filesystem not found problem is common.

In another thread, someone suggested using the DSL-N image instead of current.iso or dsl-embedded.iso.

I have experienced the same, usually related to old PCs and buggy BIOS (or so I concluded).

The thing is it recognizes it at first, but doesn't find the key later on. I updated the BIOS and now it works fine.

I have an almost new computer and an updated bios and it still says the same error. --- Strange how it can't find the usb Knoppix info.
