Other Help Topics :: problems with new kernel and modules
to your information:
i've solved the next problem. you can call me stupid but:
i just forgot to compile the usb-storage module.
yes, that's it. i think i compiled around 50 kernels during the last few weeks. i reviewed the config again and again but just didn't see the option to make this damn storage module. and i wonder why no one else had this idea. maybe that would have been to easy
but that is not the last problem:
during bootup the usb-stick is mounted successfully now and the knoppix image is found. but when trying to mount it i get this messages:
"Accessing DSL at /dev/sda1 ..."
"mount: Invalid argument"
i guess this has something to do with the cloop driver but i'm not sure yet. i'll add a new comment if i'm able to solve this last problem.

hello again.
this is the last message i will add to this thread.
i solved the last problem. again it was just a stupid mistake of myself. i had two different source-directories for linux-2.4.31. and of course i forgot to change it back in the Makefile of the cloop driver after doing some tests. so the loop driver inside initrd was compiled for the wrong kernel.
