Hey All
Is there a way to find out which cheat codes I used when I Live booted ?
My Uptime is 13 days , and I can't Quite Remember that long LOL
The Clock was running 3 to 4 times faster that it should , I rebooted a few times with different codes , and when it was working right , I launched Stanford's Folding @ Home and Let her rip ......
Thanks
Larry

dmesg maybe?
try:
dmesg > dmesg.txt
and then view the file.

That gives me a Long Thingy about USB ..... Starts at address 30 , about every 4th one has:


usb 2-2.2.1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 34
input: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Mitsumi Electric Apple Extended USB Keyboard] on usb-0000:00:13.0-2.2.1
input: USB HID v1.10 Device [Mitsumi Electric Apple Extended USB Keyboard] on usb-0000:00:13.0-2.2.1
usb 2-2.2.2: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 35
input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech USB Trackball] on usb-0000:00:13.0-2.2.2

and ends with address 99 ... but No Boot codes.

It was Two of these: noapic noagp noapm , and I think the first two , I'll have to do Trial and error again.
It's a new MSI RS480M2-IL MoBo with an AMD 64 3200+ 939 socket , Dual channel ram ( 2 X 512 MB ) , and Does Folding just Fine !
I'm using the on board Video , running live from an old 48X CD Rom. I have a 4.2 GB HDD I'm going to try to install to , but that's for another day :)
( I did get Knoppix installed on my Celeron D w/ a 6 GB HD drive tho ! )

When I Do a lspci , I get

That's a whole lotta " Unknown device " :lol:
But it runs !

Would I be better off deactivating what I'm not going to use in the BIOS , sound , serial , parallel ,PS2 , firewire ... or just leave it Default ?

Thanks

It must be some where because when you run install-knoppix it looks it up to add it to Lilo.conf

(You could do most of an install, then before it really starts open a console and
see what the lilo.conf file has listed [it does add two or three to the list though])

dmesg | less
works well with the Celeron D which is installed to HDD ..... part of the printout is:

Linux version 2.6.11 (root@Knoppix) (gcc-Version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8)) #8 SMP Sun Mar

<Snip>
Kernel command line: auto BOOT_IMAGE=Linux ro root=301 ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init
lang=us apm=power-off nomce quiet nofirewire nopcmcia
<snip>

Tomorrow I'll try and install to HDD on the AMD 64 ..... Wish Me Luck :)

# cat /proc/cmdlinewill show you the kernel boot invocation
