Post subject:  Install from IDE CDROM looks for SCSI and fails
I'm trying to install KnoppMyth and it boots from CD just fine.

Then it scans for devices and eventually says that it's looking for the install on /dev/scd0 which I don't have. (unless it's talking about the IDE drive "magicmapped" to /dev/scd0) From there it fails. Tosses me in that limited shell... and the install is dead in the water.

Even if I boot with "noscsi" option, it leaves out the line about tmscsi, but still looks for the install CD in /dev/scd0.


What the heck am I doing wrong?

Try using the 'nodma' option at the Knoppix splashscreen. That got me past that point. Once everything was installed, DMA was already enabled on the harddrive.

I didn't need to use the 'noscsi' option.

That certainly helped.

I guess the only other question I have for now is that I have 2 drives in my system and want to manually partition. Where can I do that manually? Do I have to run in "advanced" mode? If so - it's not quite clear.

Perhaps reading the KnoppMyth documentation. Thanks for letting me know I wasted my time writing them... :(

Actually, I'm a big fan of RTFM. Perhaps it's more my problem for reading the stuff too late at night when I should be sleeping.
