Hi all,
This is my first dip of a toe into linux, so I hope you'll bear with me if I haven't exhausted the troubleshooting options I should have known about.
I'm trying to boot knoppix 3.3 (9/24/03 beta), and it hangs at
apmd[60]: main(): apm_open() failed: no such device.
So I tried booting with the
knoppix lang=us noapm
command, but then the machine POSTs instead of hangs at the same place.
knoppix lang=us failsafe hangs at the same apmd error message as without failsafe.
knoppix lang=us noapm failsafe hangs at "Skipping APM BIOS detection as requested on boot command line".

Specs:
Dual Athlon MP 2100 on Tyan Tiger MPX (BIOS 4.03d)
1G Mushkin Pc2100, tested and passed with memtest86
AGP GeForce 4 Ti 4200 64MB
PCI GeForce2MX 32 MB
Soundblaster Audigy Gamer OEM
onboard 3Com LAN
USB keyboard (MS office KB), mouse (Intellimouse Explorer 3), and Wacom Intuos2.
