Wow!
Got my old 64MB USB-stick working 
Had to change the geometry of the stick.. found instructions from here:
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki....endrive
The USB stick had: 1009 Cylinders 2 Heads 62 Sectors
I tried to change the geometry according the instructions, but couldn't get the numbers to match with 32 Sectors, so I made it
977 Cyls 4 Heads 32 Sectors (a bit smaller)
And now it Works just fine GREAT
Strange, that it worked in windows and knoppix. the partition table was weird with overlapping partitions !
here is what "sfdisk -l" showed:
root@box:/home/dsl# sfdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 1009 cylinders, 2 heads, 62 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 63488 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0
