But I don't want to compile the kernel. What I don't understand is, why the package I downloaded from debian sarge, causes that error? Is it really because of the file system driver not compiled into the kernel? I thought that packages from sarge should be common enough so that user can just download them and use it.
This error might be happening because Knoppix is not Debian. Last time I did a Knoppix hard disk install, it used XFS. XFS is provided as a file system driver module in some kernels (I'm pretty sure Sarge has it), but you have to make sure that you add it to the initial ram disk in order to boot properly.
Stock kernels don't compile XFS into the kernel because they want to keep the kernel lean, and it's not explicitly required to have your file system driver compiled in statically in order to use it. Stock kernels are all about flexibility, so everything is compiled as a module. It's just that the file system module is harder to use than the rest.
In any case, I could be wrong, if your file system isn't XFS. What
does /etc/fstab say? Also, are those modules in the initial ram disk?
I use ext3 for all my files partition.
My /etc/fstab is:
# filesystem mountpoint type options dump pass /dev/hda7 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda9 /var ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda10 /tmp ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda11 /home ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /floppy autofs defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
I've tried one suggestion found from googling, to put ext2 after ext3. something like: /dev/hda7 / ext3,ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 but, that did not solve the problem also.
help, anybody?
I would like an easy way to update hard disk installed kernel in Knoppix
Regards.
