Hi
for the kernel take care about the cloop, try to have a small kernel (
copy the .config around the knoppix ) . Did you use the boot.img whit
the knoppix ( with the miniroot.gz ) ? You can personnalize your
linuxrc in this miniroot in this he try to found the knoppix cdrom with
the cloop image
good luck
Sorry for my english i'm not very fruntly ;(

I remastered my knoppix to get it boot with a different kernel.
I made a new iso with the new bzImage(vmlinuz), the iso (burnt on cdrom)
boots (knoppix prompt), my new kernel is loaded,
but then my default slackware (hdd)installation is loaded, not the
knoppix configuration from the cdrom.
any suggestions on what i'm missing? i.e. why does knoppix loads a
harddisk installation and not the cdrom installation
i'll try to rephrase what i did for now:
mkdir master/isolinux
mount -o loop boot.img boot
cp -rf boot/* master/isolinux
cd master/isolinux ; mv syslinux.cfg isolinux.cfg
--build 2.4.26-grsec kernel
mv bzImage master/isolinux/vmlinuz
du -h gives me
1.1M isolinux/vmlinuz (lots bigger then the 2.4.20 kernel i first had
from knoppix-std) so i guess i need isolinux
*note: i didn't bothered copying 2.4.26 modules cos i thought it since
most modules are 'insmod -f'-ed, that wouldn't really matter, i gonna
check with new modules later
build the image:
mkisofs -pad -l -r -J -v -V "Custom KNOPPIX" -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
isolinux/boot.cat -hide-rr-moved -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4
-boot-info-table -o /mnt/hda1/knx/knoppix.iso /mnt/hda1/knx/master

|---> this gives me a new bootable cd image which boots 2.4.26 kernel,
but then loads my old linux
i started with the old knoppix .config for my new kernel.
maybe i could try and rebuid cloop too, but gonna wait some more, maybe
i get some interesting advice concerning kernel customization
if you happen to find a flaw in what i've written here, please let me
now, i'm kinda stuck and rebuilding everything takes like too long not
to get bored with it ;)
thanks,
Thomas
