First of all i am a complete newbie with linux. So sorry if things take a bit more explaining with me.
I have a sony viao laptop PCG-GRT360zg
its a 3ghz p4 with 1024 ram
I got a copy of knoppix from linux world mag and decided to try it out, the only way i can get it to work is by booting using failsafe. If i use knoppix i get "unknown bus type 2" like 15 times or so then it locks up.
Now i did some reading on here and found out using "knoppix noapic" will get rid of the unknown bus error and like magic it did and i get all the way to the knoppix splash screen where it shows the 6 or so icons the first being "setting interprocess communication" then it stays saying that for about 5 minutes then it locks up again.
Now my second problem is i installed linux on my HD while under failsafe mode (not sure if i was soposed to do that) im using lilo to dual boot with hd1 being a recovery partition for windows hd2 is windows opperating system hd3 is the bulk of my hard drive used to store MPEGs (built in PVR) and HD4 is where linux is installed. When i try to boot the linux partition it looks like its working fine untill it gets to where it mounts my drives and gives me "HDA: lost interrupt".
I have no idea how to make this work either from the CD or the HD (i would prefer HD) any and all help is greatly appreciated!
