Newer versions of Fedora/K12LTSP use LVM2 for the root partition by 
default. Older versions of Knoppix may not be able to read these, as 
Knoppix used to (or still does?) default to using a 2.4 kernel, which 
doesn't support LVM2. I think newer versions of knoppix have a 2.6 
kernel, which you can boot to by typing knoppix26 (I think) at the boot 
prompt.

Once you're on a newer kernel, you may still need to mount the partition 
manually. Something like: "/dev/MyVG0/MyLV0"
