Multiboot Wi/linux (DSL)

[Corpseslayer]

Hi guys, I've seen several people mention they have DSL working on a multiboot but i can't get it working. The closes i have found is using memdisk /KNOPPIX/boot.Img on the syslinux version of DSL and it says 'cannot find KNOPPIX file system'.

I have copied the boot image, the knoppix and the lost&found folder to the Cd.

I've tried the normal DSL using chain /dsl.dat which gave me the same error as well as /boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin.

Any ideas people?

I'm attempting to help friends break the MS chain

Thanks in advance.

I wish I could tell you exactly how to fix this (I don't use CDSHELL), but I do know that you aren't mapping in the CD dir at boot time, which is why your loader can't find /KNOPPIX. It happened to me when I was trying to get my multi-boot CD/DVD project (based on ISOLINUX) to work.

I believe another thread, Linux and MultiBoot may be helpful. There are a couple of guys over there who are trying to (and have succeeded) in making that happen using CDSHELL

You'll need to have the KNOPPIX folder on the root of your disc. Create another folder called DSL. Put the files linux24 and minirt24.gz in the DSL folder (you can find them on the DSL iso in boot\isolinux). Add to your CDShell config something that looks like this:

if ($lastKey == key[??]); then isolinux /DSL/linux24 ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off vga=791 initrd=/DSL/minirt24.gz nomce noapic quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix
