It's a bug in the grub-based installer (well rather in isolinux because
the /proc/cmdline is messed up).
Installation will work in 4.0.2 (not 4.2, this doesn't exist) if you boot with
any boot option, like
knoppix dma
and then run the knoppix.installer later.
Second method:
If you don't want to run the entire installation again, just edit the
menu.list of grub (/boot/grub/menu.lst, I think) and add the correct
root=/dev/hdax partition and initrd=/path/to/initrd, and the Kernel
won't panic again because of finding no root file system.
