DSL Embedded :: Multiboot-CD with DSL



Hi everybody,
I have a syslinux multiboot CD that boots into several Ghost images with different configurations as well as FreeDOS and some BIOS flash tools.
That all works fine, but...

I'm trying to put DSL embedded on my CD, in a folder called dsl.
I inserted the following line in my syslinux.cfg

LABEL dsl
KERNEL linux24
APPEND ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=de vga=normal atapicd nosound noapic noacpi acpi=off noscsi noapm nousb nopcmcia nofirewire noagp nomce nodhcp xmodule=vesa initrd=/dsl/minirt24.gz BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix frugal

DSL starts booting all right, but then fails because it
"Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem (sorry)". Dropping you to a very limited shell.

Now... What might cause this?

Thank you for any advice
jan
The knoppix image has to be located at /KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX of whatever media you are booting from.

You can't move it to another folder.

Try my multiboot CD

If it is missing something you think it needs, email me, and if it's freeware or gpl'd, or otherwise freely distributable, I'll add it in.
Your link was flawed:

You meant:

Right??  :D
Hi SaidinUnleashed,
I downloaded the ISO - thank you.

But how exactly did you do that?
How did you create a multiboot CD with bootable images and DSL?

Any help welcome... :-)

I tried with the knoppix image file at /KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX, but I keep getting the same error message:
"Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem (sorry). Dropping you to a very limited shell."
Update:
After some reading I understand a bit more of the KNOPPIX boot process now and can describe in detail what happens.

PC boots into ISOLINUX     ... OK
ISOLINUX starts the kernel ... OK
The kernel loads miniroot    ... OK
Until now, everything works as expected. The miniroot recognizes my hardware and finds quite a lot - all without errors.
The last line (blue) on my screen is "Scanning for USB devices."
Then - too quick to read - some device names "/dev/..." (in pink) are ... displayed.

AFAIK it now comes to load the the cloop kernel-module which mounts the compressed KNOPPIX-Image.
And that's the point where it fails.
