Hello,
i just tried the new Knoppix 4.0 cd out, but after the kernel is loaded, there is the Message "Scan for for USB" (yes, really for for) and Knoppix hangs. What could this be? I also plugged all my usb devices out, it didnt help.

Greetings

Hello and welcome to Knoppix.net.

We hope that you enjoy your use of Knoppix and hope you become an active member of the community. There's no membership fee. We just ask that you help us and others by becoming familiar with Knoppix, posting questions, and letting the rest of us know how things go. Also, I noticed that you joined recently and so was wondering if you wouldn't mind answering a few questions.

1. - How did you hear about Knoppix?
2. - How did you discover Knoppix.net?
3. - What versions of Knoppix have you tried?
4. - What type of system are you running Knoppix on?
5. - What operating system is currently installed on that system?
6. - How long have you been using computers, or how familiar are you with computers?
7. - Have you used linux before? If so, how long?
8. - What do you hope to do with Knoppix or Linux?
9. - Are you familiar with a wiki? If so, have you used a wiki before, e.g wrote some content?

Try booting with the nousb cheatcode (http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Cheat_Codes). For example:

boot: knoppix nousb

Please let us know how it goes.

Hello, the Cheatcode "nousb" worked, but what could be the cause of this hang? I have to correct: the message is : "Check for for USB and not Scan ..."
