Thanks, Markus.  I'll try to replicate what you have.  Out of
curiosity, from where did you get your /boot/isolinux/minirt.gz
  file?

It's copied directly from Knoppix 4.0.2 CD.

IIRC that can't boot from ISO directly, which is why I use
KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX file with "fromhd"-bootcode, in addition to the ISO.

That's fine.  The script will still provide helpful information.
Actually, I curious about one more bit of information, the mounts.
So, could you run this script and post the contents of output.txt:

( set -x
part=/mnt/hda1
find $part | xargs ls -lad
find $part -name 'menu.lst' | xargs tail +1
df -HTl $part
mount | grep -i iso9
cat /proc/cmdline
uname -a
cat /etc/knoppix-version
) >& output.txt

Output is attached. (using /mnt/hdb1, not /mnt/hda1 - I have only one
hard-disk, which is /dev/hdb)

Few notes:
- There are several items is menu.lst. Most of them are not tested and
might not work with my current configuration. I used item "My Knoppix
(+= fromhd bootfrom=/dev/hdb2/CD.iso)" when creating this output.txt
- Files in /mnt/hdb1/boot/knoppix.500 are from [1], and were used only
for testing the Knoppix 5.0.0 from Cebit. They are not used in normal
boot-process.
