May I ask for help with 3.4?

When I try to boot from HD, it says kernel panic, no init found.

This is on /dev/hda3
drwxrwxr-x    3 root     0            1024 Jul  3  2007 .
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     0            1024 Jul  3  2007 ..
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     0            1024 Jul  3  2007 grub

-r--r--r--    1 root     0        50478808 Jul  1 14:47 minirt24.gz

This is in grub/

This is part of menu.lst

Where's the KNOPPIX image? Your install didn't work..
No reinstall needed, just copy the KNOPPIX directory from the cd to hda3...

Thanks, Curaga, but I am still a newbie - I don't understand a lot, eg

"dsl-3.4-initrd.iso version has the KNOPPIX image packed in the initial ramdisk. This means it is very easy to setup a PXE DSL server.

It also means the entire system always loads into ram. You will need 128MB ram for this version. It will boot as a typical isolinux version and thereby eliminates the scan for the KNOPPIX image"

Your kernel and initrd are not in (hd0,2)/boot, although grub is looking for them there.
You may need to change menu.lst:
Code Sample
title DSL
root (hd0,2)
kernel /linux24 norestore frugal write desktop=jwm
initrd /minirt24.gz


If that doesn't work you might need to create a boot directory on hda3 and put the kernel and initrd in there.
