View Full Version : Booting Problems on Notebook
I am trying to boot Knoppix on my notebook but after first screen and three commandlines, there is either a black screen and nothing moves or the notebook restarts.
The three commandlines are:
Loading Linux.........
Loading minirt.gz...........
Ready.
now what can I do? I'm trying this with the Knoppix v. 8.1 German.
on my normal pc it works great but it makes trouble on the notebook.

thanks
but now I've tried it as you've said in the poste with the command:
knoppix acpi=off pnpbios=off -b noapic noagp noapm nodma nomce nofirewire nopcmcia noscsi noswap nousb nosmp noaudio nodhcp vga=normal 1
now came the same 3 command lines and now the notebook shows this:
Uncompressing Linux...
incomplete distance tree
-- System halted
the Notebook also shows this if I add mem=256M
now if i try this:
knoppix acpi=off vga=normal 1
the notebook shows nearly the same:
Uncompressing Linux...
invalid compressed format (err=2)
-- System halted

It's possible that the CD-ROM in your notebook is more sensitive than your desktop CD-ROM to subtle imperfections in the CD. So, the next thing to try would be to check the CD
boot: knoppix testcd
