I have VMWare Fusion on my Mac and am trying to install Knoppix 6.1 in a VM.
When I do the install it gets to the screen where it says:
Starting Live-Mode
Please do not remove Medium until shut-down

and then says:
/init: exec: Line 589: /sbin/init: Input/output error

and then it does nothing else. How can I get beyond this or what am I doing wrong?

I've also recieved the same error message. How did you fix the problem?

Unfortunately I've been unable to fix the problem. I know there have been some recent updates to VMWare with fixes. I haven't had a chance to try it again but was going to try it again and see if any of that fixed it.

I found out the problem, you can't directly burn an "iso" file to a data disc and run the program. You have to use a program such as CDBurnerXP which is a free software to make an ISO disc.
I figured that out, now my new problem is when i go to start windows, I get an error message saying "windows\system\vgaoem.fon is missing". And I don't have my Windows XP disc to repair it.... this is such a headache.
