Darude1234 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 (edited) (Already read http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...6entry133066)Yesterday I succesfully added Knoppix to my Multibootable DVD. It boots, but after it searched for USB Devices it says:Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry. Dropping you to a (very limited) shell. Press reset button to quit.Where can I get that filesystem. I suppose that it's on the cd, but I copied all the files.My DVD looks like this:BOOT --> with CD-Shell in the directory and and a directory with isolinux where a ISOLINUX.BIN and a KNOPPIX.BIN (bootimage of Knoppix iso) is located.ISOLINUX the same directory I put in the BOOT-directoryKNOPPIX with a KNOPPIX file of 46.22MB (Filesystem?)and Windows-versions I created following the flyakite guidein the root of my DVD I have a boot file of the Knoppix ISO called knoppix.binand in the cdshell.ini I have a line:if $lastKey == key[9]; then bcdw boot /boot/isolinux/isolinux.binWhat do I do wrong?P.S. Maybe flyakite can make a tutorial on flyakite.msfnhosting.com Edited September 24, 2005 by Darude1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwz Luse Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 When I get back to my main computer tomorrow, I'll post up how I did it (although I know that I changed it so CDShell is in it's own folder named CDSH and such by hex editing one of the CDSH files so instead of pointing to BOOT it was looking for CDSH). Hopefully someone can help ya out before then. heh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screwz Luse Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 The basic method I used was described in this topic. Basically, you have to do the following:1.) Copy the /boot/isolinux folder from the Knoppix CD to some place on your hard drive so you can edit the files.2.) Rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg3.) Download the file attached to the topic above (you can try clicking this to get the file)4.) Delete the files boot.cat and isolinux.bin5.) Place all the files in the /boot/isolinux folder that you just copied to your hard drive into that image (I used MagicISO). Make sure not to copy the folders into the image, just the files.6.) The topic I used says there should be 12 files in the image file, I personally only have 10 files from the v3.9.1 CD (f2, f3, linux, memtest, logo.16, syslinux.cfg,minirt.gz, german.kbd, boot.msg, ldlinux.sys)I then used the following CDshell command to boot the image:if $lastKey == key[6]; then bcdw boot \IMAGES\4320.img (of course, edit to your needs). The renaming of the CDshell folder to CDSH isn't really required, I just did because at one point, I had Longhorn on my DVD (since removed as I don't need it anymore). Currently, the Knoppix distro seems to work. I've also managed to get Whax on my DVD and both seem to work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darude1234 Posted September 25, 2005 Author Share Posted September 25, 2005 I followed your description, but still get the same error: Can't find KNOPPIX filsystem, sorry dropping you to a very limited shell. press reset to quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwz Luse Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 (edited) hhhmm... Just double checked that it was still working for me and it definately is... And you definately have the Knoppix folder copied to the root of your dvd (ie /KNOPPIX/ is in the root and in there is the KNOPPIX filesystem along with all the other various files)? Attached is what my syslinux.cfg file looks like (not sure if yours looks different or anything, but just in case).[EDIT]Just tested with the Knoppix 4.0 CD and it definitely still works.[/EDIT]syslinux.cfg.txt Edited September 26, 2005 by Screwz Luse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darude1234 Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 I have Knoppix 3.9 maybe I have to download the latest version 4.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwz Luse Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 uuummm... It should work with 3.9. The version I used before 4.0 was 3.9.1 and it seemed to work no problem. I'd go through and just double check. If you like, when I get back to the home comp later tonight, I can send you my image file and maybe you can try that out.

Darude1234 Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) Tried it another 3 times, but still gives that stupid can't find filesystem error.I downloaded the newest version 4.0 and did exactly what's in your description Do you have other suggestions?Or do I have to download that filesystem file somewhere? maybe that's the problem?when I get back to the home comp later tonight, I can send you my image file and maybe you can try that out.If you will do that, that would be great Edited September 27, 2005 by Darude1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwz Luse Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I uploaded my image file. It's compressed in rar format. Just extract the image to wherever you want and make sure to use that file when "BCDWing" heh... Make sure that the \KNOPPIX\ folder is in the root of the dvd. Knoppix, I believe, looks for the KNOPPIX file (filesystem) in the KNOPPIX folder (the 700+MB file). Grab the image here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darude1234 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 (edited) still won't work. Get the same error: Can't find KNOPPIX file system Edited September 28, 2005 by Darude1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 This is who I boot Knoppix (since 3.8):I only copy the KNOPPIX-folder in root and the isolinux-folder in BOOT-folder.if $lastKey == key[3]; then isolinuxThen the Startscreen of Knoppix starts.

Screwz Luse Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 hhhmmm... That's unusual. 4.0 works no problem on my current DVD which contains:Windows 2003Windows XP w/ SP2Windows 2000 w/ SP4Windows 98 SEBartPEKnoppix 4.0Whax .3 (I believe that's the version)Partition MagicAcronis DiskKeeperI would try what was suggested on the reply before me. I know I personally had problems with that method for some reason but seeing as my method doesn't seem to work for you, it's deffinately worth a shot.
