Knoppix 3.2: Errormessage during booting, when HOME-Directory is saved on HD?

0

I’ve saved the date on a FAT-32Partition, as an image and without password. I can’t format the partition in a LINUX-Format, since it’s used by other data. When I boot KNOPPIX with “knoppix myconfig=… home=….”, a short time later the message appears, that s.th. is not found and I’m asked for a password with at least 20 signs length (but such a password does not exist). It’s no difference whether I type “home=scan” or s.th. like “home=/dev/hda5”. Never the less it seems to work fine, when I ignore the password request and negate the further enquiry with “n” for “no”. When I leave out “home=…” Knoppix has forgotton -as expected- the Home-Directory. The behavior is some how unbeautiful. Does anyone know how to avoid the request of that password? A: I encountered this problem when I placed both the config files and the persistent home on the same partition.If you do not have separate partitons then the config can be located on a floppy( I have not tried this.
