USB booting :: Knoppix Filesystem not found, sorry...
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,
Jwhere 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:
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.
