Hi,
my Knoppix cd booted just fine, untill I replaced my cdrom reader with a new Samsung 48x cdwriter (SW- 248B ). My computer just hangs after reporting
"1. FD 1.44 MB System Type - (00)"
No Knoppix screen appears.
However, it can boot from a Windows 98, Mandrake & Debian Netinstall cd. I wrote to Samsung, but their support staff doesn't know the difference between booting and writing...
What could cause these problems ? What's so special about the Knoppix boot procedure that the other cd's apparantly don't have ?
greetz,
Dominique De Munck
PS : I'm quite sure it's not a bad cd to be blamed, because I tested it with 2 different Knoppix cd's who work on other computers.
(same post as on linuxtag, got no reaction there however)
