I found a solution now for booting off USB and use toram.
As i expected the vfat lowercase is the problem, because after copying to the ramdisk the name is case sensitive.
So after some trial and errors Iīve got the solution with changing in the minirt24.gz "KNOPPIX_NAME=KNOPPIX to KNOPPIX_NAME=knoppix" which works fine now including unmounting the usb stick from /cdrom and recovering the backup.tar.gz from /dev/sda1 (/mnt/sda1) (now the usb stick).
(I have also tried to use at the bootpromt "dsl toram knoppix_name=knoppix" which didnīt work?!?)
just a little howto:
to change the value boot the usb stick normal (without toram).
copy the minirt24.gz to /opt (evtl. make a backup to minirt24.gz.old)
at /opt
"gunzip minirt24.gz"
and
"mount -o loop minirt24 /mnt/test"
"cd /mnt/test"
and edit the linuxrc file
in the linuxrc file have a search for
"KNOPPIX_NAME=KNOPPIX" #(almost near at the beginning)
and replace it with
"KNOPPIX_NAME=knoppix"
"cd /opt"
and
umount /ramdisk/opt/minirt24
than
gzip -9 minirt24
copy now the minirt24.gz back and overwrite the old minirt24.gz
so i hope this works for others too, but maybe it would be a better solutions to implement the mount option "shortname=mixed,posix" at the ash.
(which i am sorry not be able to do) and
i will have a look at the linuxrc file if i can change the value
KNOPPIX_NAME only if the toram option is given at the boot promt.
