USB booting :: HOWTO: Lexar 128MB USB Drive Running DSL

I use "bootusb-0.8.img" and "dsl-0.9.2.iso" flow the kronus`s advise,but I always get this message "Accessing DSL Liniux at /dev/sda1... cat No File /KNOPPIX/ect/ld.so.cache".I chage the name "knoppix" file  to low case also WHY?:D

I'm having the same problem on several different computers and flash drives.  I've tried versions 2.2b and 2.3rc2.

The boot process seems to work every time, but the system seems unable to see the KNOPPIX archive file where the OS is contained.

I'll get to the point where the OS itself should start to load, and get approximately this:

Code Sample
Accessing DSL Linux at /dev/sda1...cat: No file /knoppix/etc/ld.so.cache.

Setting paths... /linuxrc: /knoppix/bin/rm: not found.

egrep: not found
sed: not found
rm: not found
awk: not found
awk: not found

FAT: bogus logical sector size 0

Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:03


To my newbish eyes, it seems to be running a startup script, but without access to the KNOPPIX archive it's unable to get anything done.

I'm going to try an older version later tonight and see what happens.

I haven't been sucessful so far in getting this to work. I get to the part where it tries to create the ramdisk, and there are a bunch of error messages that say something like not found.


None of the links to other posts with alternate methods seem to work. Any ideas?
