User Feedback :: Cant find Knoppix Filesystem ?
Hi friends,
Well I'm also at my wits end with the same error message. In my case the ISO was burned a the lowest speed offered by the burner (~8X). In trying to boot on an older Gateway PII-450 box with 128mb RAM and a brand new Maxtor 40gb hdd, with BiNG as the boot manager, I get aggravation. The same CD boots and runs like a champion on a PII-233/128RAM box (am typing from it now).
Based on the earlier posts regarding burner speed, I think that I can rule out that cause for the grief. I'm going to uninstall BiNG and try again after formating and partitioning.
Just a quick follow up. I changed out the CDROM for a newer and cleaner unit this
morning. Now the CDs boot with no trouble. SO, perhaps the error is due to the CDROM
lens being out of alignment or just being dirty.:cool:
When I first got involved with DSL, I ordered two CD's directly from John Andrews. Those worked just fine. As a baseline, that might be the thing to do, then you will have eliminated quite a bit. If the Official DSL CD's work, then the
downloading, burning, etc. process is suspect.

I later downloaded my own DSL, but then got into remastering of it. After several
tries, I found that I was setting up my Creative CD program incorrectly, and wound up with slow-booting CD's.
They often took a couple of minutes to start on some machines, but started almost immediately on others.
The Official CD's I got always booted right away, so I knew something was wrong with my method, and eventually found the answer to it.

I do not yet distribute my remaster of DSL, but here is a look at the
Getting Started Guide that I have with the current version.
(It would be free, but would suggest a contribution be made to John Andrews, of Damn Small Linux, to help pay for the Forum, very valuable to all who work with any version of DSL.)

Hi Rapidweather,
I read thru your Getting Started Guide last evening, Kudos to you! Well written and very clear.
It certainly cleared up a couple of "hazy" places in my understanding of how to use DSL.:)
I am having the exact same problem on my HP Pavilion laptop, but I extracted the folder KNOPPIX directly from the iso, without burning it to a cd. So I guess the cd is not the problem (it didn't work with cd either). Any thoughts? Thanks!
