Hi
i just downloaded and burnt the knoppix 5.01 cd (re-burned at 4x)
the cd works like a charm on my compaq r4000 laptop (with the nodma cheat) but fails miserably on my homebuilt athlonxp machine
i tried the knoppix nodma and knoppix failsafe but still the "I/O error" loading the cdrom and a "very limited" shell
the SAME CD works on my compaq
the cd drive in the homebuilt rig is v old (from my old compaq pIII not sure of the year, around '99-'00"
i enabled UDMA in bios, and everything else looks fine.
cdrom is ATA 33, a (phillips, i think) cdrw readspeed 32x or something
