| Post subject: | "Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem" error on R5B7 inst |
I keep getting the same "Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem" error during install then it drops me to a "very limited" shell. And says "Press reset button to quit" Any ideas what's wrong? Should I try an earlier release? I'm very new to linux based pvr so any pointers are welcome. Also I want to install the root, swap, cache, and myth partitions in the most optimal way. I have a 30GB IDE and a 250GB SATA drive. Should I can the IDE and install exclusively on SATA, or install kernel & swap onto IDE and cache & myth to SATA? All opinions are welcome. |

If you are doing an auto install, You will need to remove your SATA drive. If you want to keep the SATA drive you will have to do a manual install. I did not have much luck with it. If you do a search on SATA you will find the information you are looking for. mike |

Thanks for your response, but I've tried every combination of IDE and SATA drives I could think of. Including (the safest) removing the SATA drive, sata PCI controller, and disabling the SATA controller on the mobo, all without success. I get the same error everytime. Let me make sure I understand the auto-install process: 1. boot from CD 2. at the "boot:" prompt hit enter 3. then a menu with some number of options is supposed ot come up. Well if this is correct my problem is between steps 2 and three. No menu ever comes up. Please help me |

Possible bad burn or CD/DVD drive incompatibility. Boot the cd with the "testcd" option and make sure it checks good. Oh, and if it's not a vanilla IDE (PATA) CD/DVD drive you may need to boot with the expert option and load the appropriate driver to get past the low level boot. |

tjc, thank you for the help. It was a bad burn. One of my computers' CD-burner looks like it's on the way out. I can't wait to see this thing work!!!! |

SATA drives require a manual install and is pretty simple. KnoppMyth comes with a preloaded configuration for these drives. KnoppMyth SATA Install HOWTO At the main menu, select option #4 "Manual Install". Next you select your time zone, date & time. Once you've set that, you'll come to the main menu for manual installs. Select Option #4 "Load Config". It should read "/KNOPPIX/knoppmyth". Add "-sata" to the end so it reads "/KNOPPIX/knoppmyth-sata". Once you enter that, you'll be returned to the main menu. Select Option #1, Configuration Installation" and answer those questions. Once complete, go to option #2, "Start Installation". When done, press enter to get a prompt and reboot the machine. Once it reboots, you'll have to walk through the rest of the config. Thats it |
