As I recall you also get that message when no kernel is found. I suspect that
the current version of knoppix-installer aka knx2hd doesn't match the
Quantian kernel names. Which is strange as eg the 2.6 kernel is the normal
one from Knoppix. The respective code is in

	/usr/share/knoppix-installer/			and
	/usr/share/knoppix-installer/modules/booting

I think we need to fix the lilo file that was created as part of the knx2hd
installation. Could you send it to the list, along with a directory listing
of the /boot directory?
