    Are you sure you have these two files the right way round as I would
    assume the longer one is Knoppix as it seems to be the one with the
    correct modues in it? Anyway assuming you have them the wrong way round
    I would try adding the following modules to /etc/modules, and 'modprobe
    <module>' for the current boot to make sure it works.

    and one of the following depending on your motherboard. These modules
    are for the ide controller on your board. 'lspci' should give you a
    clue to what module to use, if you can't figure it out post the output
    of this command as well.

    You can try the 'ide_generic' one first as this should always work, but
    not wont let you use 'dma' for the disks in question.

    The module below should get loaded automatically as it is a dependency
    of some of the others. If it doesn't load it manually.

    As far as the difference in where the cd is mounted, I would say that
    this is just because Knoppix is a Live CD that it uses the /unionfs/,
    but I am still a bit of a newbie as well so I could be wrong.
