Hello,
I have a problem similar to this one http://www.sarducd.it/forum/english-forum/problem-with-dsl-t298.html?hilit=DSL When I try to boot into DSL it tells me "KNOPPIX filesystem not found, Dropping you to a very limited shell.". I used SARDU to download the ISO and I have downloaded the file twice myself. They have all done the same thing. I have tried several things already. It seems like the DSL boot loader is not finding the Knoppix_DSL file. below is the files structure and the DSL.cfg and the ISOlinux.cfg in the DSL folder.

Note: E:\ is the USB drive
The Knoppix file
E:\KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX_DSL

The boot files
E:\dsl\boot\isolinux\
boot.cat
boot.msg
dsl.cfg

Thanks for the help!

[davidecosta]

change the value

BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix

to

BOOT_IMAGE=/dsl/knoppix

Let me know

[bheironimus]

That still did not work could it have anything to do with the format being NTFS I have another pin drive that boots into DSL just fine that is FAT32. I have even copied the DSL file from it and it still did not work. I also copied Parted magic from it to make sure I did it correctly and Parted magic worked fine.

[davidecosta]

You can't copy files but build the USB with SARDU

[bheironimus]

I'm beginning to think that DSL just does not like my pin drive. I have reformatted to FAT32 and that did not work so I put it back to NTFS and tried it as an extra ISO (GRUB) both in and out of the ram all of them gave me the same error.

[davidecosta]

I hope to release a beta version of 3.x version in a few of weeks

[bheironimus]

Well it seems to have something to do with DSL not liking my flash drive. I just tried one of DSL to USB flash drive methods and it gave me the same problem. oh well there are plenty of other linux options on Sardu!

[steve2926]

You need to use the initrd version of DSL (not the 'syslinux' version). Beware, some rc versions are initrd versions and some are not.
