Hi, I can't seem to boot into X with Knoppix 5.0.1.
If I boot normally, the system just halts with a totally black screen and no DVD or HD activity, just after the boot screen. Typing "knoppix acpi=off" gets me a little further, but the kernel panics soon afterwards. I have tried typing the following commands, which halt right after the boot screen as before:
knoppix no{apic,agp,apm,audio,ddc}
knoppix no{dhcp,fstab,firewire}
knoppix no{pcmcia,scsi,swap,usb}
If I type "failsafe" it boots until X starts, at which point I get the "DVI: No Signal" message on my monitor. The system continues to boot though, because I hear "Initiating startup sequence" and the DVD and HD continue to be very active.
Along with typing "failsafe", I have tried adding the commands:
knoppix xmodule=ati¦fbdev¦i810¦mga
knoppix xmodule=nv¦radeon¦savage¦s3
knoppix xmodule=radeon¦svga¦i810
knoppix vga=normal
knoppix 2
The only command which gets me to any interactive point with a visible screen is "failsafe knoppix 2". At which point if I type "startx" the screen goes black and I hear "initiating startup sequence" again. I have tried plugging the monitor into the second DVI out on the video card, but no difference.
Any suggestions? Any help would be very much appreciated. System spec posted below:
