Hi guys,
I am trying to install knoppix v5.0 CD version, in runlevel 2, on an 80gb sata drive on an intel D945GNT motherboard. 512Mb ram in slot 1 of 4 (there is a performace boost if a matching dimm is in slot 3), Lite-On DVD-ROM on IDE/ATA Chain as primary. This is an LGA 775 Processor, 3.0 GHZ (Intel). The only card in the system is an ADS USB 2.0.
Commands I am using:
Starting Knoppix: knoppix dma 2
after partitioning drive with 3 partitions via cfdisk sda1 = 11GB NTFS, sda2=5GB Linux, sda3=1GB Linux Swap
IGNORE_CHECK=1 sudo knoppix-installer
What I get is:
To the screen that tells me that the system is not ready for install, when I press "OK" I get kicked to a menu with cfdisk and quit as the only options.
What I have tried so far:
startup:
Knoppix dma 2
and
knoppix 2
In Bios:
Optimal Defaults
Safe Defaults
Changing the hd controller setting from enhanced to legacy.
Turning off S.M.A.R.T.
Verifying boot order.
I think it is having problems with seeing the sata drive correctly. When I load the kernel, it shows the dvd drive as hda, but it does not show the hard drive as sda.
We have used knoppix v3.7 for a long time this way. We use knoppix to image the ntfs partition. The free space after the swap partition is turned into an image storing partition and we have written a small program to streamline the copy (ntfsclone -O /dev/hda4/current.img /dev/sda1) and conversly copy it back to the ntfs partition after the xp o/s is corrupted.
Please contact me
Thanks,
Jerry
