IRQ crash

[drg55]

I think Knoppix is great. Have been using linux 5 years now.

Sometimes when I boot it on my desktop it loads the ramdisk then detects devices then fails on IRQ and gives a message about stack and not sincing.

Don't know how to save this output.

System is an AMD 1gz on a Gigabyte 71gax, 380 mb ram. Plug and Play is enabled in bios. Don't want to change this if I don't have to.

Have saved configuration and made home directory, but doesn't get to this point of boot. booting Knoppix lang=us seems to be more sucessful.

I particularly would like to know if this is bad for my hardware.

I have no problems with my thinkpad p2 notebook.

The problems starts with scsi aborting timeout. I don't have any scsi in my system.
Then its kernel panix.
The Interupt handler not syncing.

Best,

What cheat codes (http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/CheatCodes) have you tried? I would suggest knoppix noscsi at the boot: prompt and maybe even a few more of the no options like noapic and if everything else fails just failsafe at the prompt.

I read all the FAQ and was going to give the noscsi a go.

I usually do lang=us home= myconfiig=

It would seem to me that the myconfig could occur earlier in the boot process so that all the devices did not have to be searched for every time.

Thanks indeed for your help.
