DSL Tips and Tricks :: Dummy USB re-compile for USB boot



Well - I don't know why but some of the kernel modules have to be built as a module and not to be built in kernel.
After recompiling the kernel and add e.g my network card as a module - it works.
But I don't know why I can't mount any dsl and uci files.
I got an error:
Code Sample

mydsl-load /home/dsl/openoffice-2.0.uci
/dev/cloop1: No such device or address


ps. I did not patch kernel with knoppix patch. Maybe that's why?
No, cloop is it's own patch, which is added to knoppix kernels.
The sources can be gotten from http://debian-knoppix.alioth.debian.org/sources/
the cloop 1.x versions are for 2.4 kernels, but building cloop requires debhelper...

So is there any place where I can read about building cloop?
I've recompiled the kernel image and built new modules and never had to worry about cloop, etc - admittedly with a frugal install - so I wonder why you have this error.

Are you sure you are using the correct .config file as a starting point?

Well, honestly saying - no.
I haven't read anywhere about using config file as a starting point and missed that
