HD Install :: USB memory sstick drive

The current version of the bootusb.img supports both OHCI and UHCI.
OHCI = Open Host Controller Interface
UHCI = Universal Host Controller Interface

OHCI usually works for Compaq, Sis and other non-intel based systems.
UHCI usually works for Intel and Via based systems.
These are the modules that I was able to find for Knoppix based 3.3 systems.

What is your USB Host Controller Interface?

Thank you,roberts.
MY USB Host Controller Interface is SiS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller.

This error "Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem,sorry" is common. I faced the same problem. I also noticed that some guys in the KNOPPIX forum encountered this problem as well.

In file linuxrc, there is a statement "insmod file=cloop.o.....". Because of the insmod failure, the error "can't find KNOPPIX system" occurs. I've verified that file cloop.o is indeed there. But I don't know why insmod fails?

Is it possible to check the exact error code of insmod in shell script file "linuxrc"? If so, we may know what root cause is!!

I want to install DSL on a 486DX w 16Mb ram but the motherboard won't recognize that I have added a 8X cdrom. Can I install from a series of floppys?

Sure. First download the DSL bootusb.img from one of the download sites. I would first start by making the boot floppy from this .img file. Next grab your pendrive, you don't need to format it, now copy over the KNOPPIX folder. Next test your setup by booting from the floppy. DSL will run from the USB pendrive. Now, if your machine will boot from USB, copy the contents of the floppy onto the root directory of the pendrive. Do not copy to inside the KNOPPIX folder. Then go grab syslinux from syslinux
You only need to run syslinux with a target of the usb pendrive. On windows for example do syslinux.exe -s E: Where drive E corresponds to your pendrive. Finally change your BIOS to boot from USB. I also had to change my BIOS to usb-keyboard in order for the boot from USB to work.

Danke, roberts, es hat alles auf Anhieb funktioniert auf einem älteren Siemens 333 mit USB 2 und einem Memory-Stick.
