Hi there again :-)

Sorry but moving the isolinux folder to the root doesn't work for me :-(

Any other suggestions?... besides from getting that annoying bootscreen it works perfectly....

[FBi_]

Yes, there's another problem.

Anything started via memdisk brings the knoppix boot screen if the isolinux folder is in /boot or root

the maker of memdisk could make a update to ignore this folder

[Tuxer]

So putting it in a different folder should solve it....?

I'll try it ! Thx!

[Tuxer]

Putting it in a different folder works!

Thx!

[Markymoo]

is that why u getting problems coz u r using memdisk??

[FBi_]

yes, when i start the .ima files via memdisk i get the knoppix screen. when bcdw is used, there is no knoppix screen.

e.g. ghost doesn't work with bcdw, cause the disks are write protected?!?!? "it can't write to disk" was the error message.

UBCD uses memdisk also. When I start any program of the UBCD on my AIO DVD, then the knoppix screen appears.

that is really bad *G*

in what folder exactly have you put it? and how do you start it?

if $lastKey == key[4]; then bcdw /images/isolinux/isolinux.bin
doesn't work for me

Hi again!

After giving Knoppix a rest and concentrating on the rest of the DVD I decided I wanted to give it another chance - guess what? I'm running into the exact same problems as before...

To recap:
1. Using using cdimage or cdimagegui or mkisofs it still remains impossible (for me) to create a joint Joiet/ISO DVD. I must have tried all possible combinations of options and switches I could think of...
2. When creating a DVD that uses only ISO (no -j1) I get a perfect DVD but Knoppix refuses to load because the filesystem cannot be found
3. The problem -AFAIK, PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong- in creating a Joliet/ISO DVD is the fact that it cannot cope with files or directories over 110 characters in length - as stated before, I have a grand total of one (1) such directory on the entire DVD, and it's created by PEBuilder

Now I know some of you have been able to do exactly waht I am still trying to do - but how? Is it the language version of Windows XP which is responsible for the creation by PEBuilder of the one overly long directory? I'm guessing now because
the one offending directory has only one file in it - mfc42nld.dll and I assume that the nld is a reference to Netherlands. What does this file do? Is it necessary (I'm thinking yes, because PEBuilder will create this file even if no plugins are selected). A websearch didn't give me any answers...

Someone please help me out of my misery - CAN IT BE DONE? Is there a workaround for my problem, are any more of you experiencing this problem?
I've found Terrier's site and it has this to say:

il pourrait arriver que certains plugins de Bart PE ne fonctionnent plus (car 1 ou 2 fichiers du répertoire D:\ROOT\i386\WinSxS\Manifests\ ne peuvent pas êtres copiés correctement). Je n'ai personnellement pas eu de problème.

Translation: some of you may have a problem with adding both BartPE and Knoppix, but I didn't.
I'm much too nosy not to want to try, but I'm getting more and more frustrated by the hour...

When i put the isolinux in any other folder than /boot or / i get the following error message

what do i have to put in there to boot knoppix?

the isolinux folder is located in /LINUX/


-------------------------------------------------------------------

I found another guide to boot the latest knoppix.

http://www.sadyc.net...CDintoUBCD.html

The only problem is that the floppyimage is 2,88 mb and the files are about 4 mb.

so take his image as seed image in EasyBoot and create a 4320 kbyte image. then copy the file ldlinux.sys from the 2,88mb diskimage in the 4,3mb diskimage, rename the isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg and put all files from the isolinux folder (except boot.cat and isolinux.bin) in the 4,3mb diskimage.

if ($lastKey == key[k]); then bcdw /images/diskimage.img

There's no Knoppix bootscreen anymore when using memdisk or diskemu for other apps

I hope this is the final solution for this problem.

Thats why i mentioned dont put in anywhere else other than boot and root.

[Tuxer]

-But Markymoo you have the same problem with the bootscreen or what?

-FBi gonna try your thing in the morning
thx...!

[Markymoo]

no i dont using bcdw in root

[Tuxer]

****, well i tried using the 4 meg image, but this doesn't work... still got the bootscreen.....

Almost giving up......

Hi!

i have attached the 4320.img with the ldlinux.sys inside. just rename your isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg and add the files of your isolinux dir (except boot.cat and isolinux.bin) with winimage.

you have to delete the isolinux folder of course. now the knoppix bootscreen has no change to come up.

it works great.

what do you mean? you don't use bcdw at all? or you haven't the isolinux folder in root?

you mean you have the isolinux.bin etc in root?

[Markymoo]

right i have isolinux.bin in isolinux folder

[atlas95]

At the root of knoppix cd, there are on folder boot and oe folder KNOPPIX.
I must extract the folder KNOPPIx at the root of my dvd? right?
or I must extract all files of knoppix cd in one folder name KNOPPIX at the root of dvd? ...

[Godzilla]

@ all
Can anybody summarizes the solution?

@FBi_
Oder kannst du das nochmal auf deutsch erklären??

I use the cdmenu.cmd from http://gosh.msfnhosting.com/part1.htm .

One example to run an image (if it is different to cdshell):
onkey 4 run UBCD.DAT
If I need bcdw, you must explain, how I use it.

Thanks

OK I just went through this and have a few less hairs than I began with. But Mostly my own fault

you need to use the j1 switch by the looks of it.
You extract the Knoppix folder from the iso and put it at the root of your AIO dvd.
you extract the boot/isolinux folder and put that under boot on the AIO root.
you download the bcdw module from cdshell page and extract that to the AIO/boot folder
add the bcdw /boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin to the cdshell.ini file and you should be good to go

HTH some people

LOL - you do seem to have a good sense of humour, don't you?

I was looking for something like that - so yes, it helps thank you!
