Hi,
I have some problems with Knoppix on my Toshiba Satellite 1800-100:
Celeron 800 MHz
128 MB Ram
20 GB HDD
When I run knoppix from the CD it boots Ok but it shows some quirks.
It cant initialize my 3com PCMCIA network card and X keeps running in 800x600 even though i tried the screen=1024x768 cheatcode.
But the biggest problem is it gives me some errors during boot that says something like this:
HDA1: device can not accept commands
And also something about an IRQ timeout (cant remember exact msg)?
Knoppix keeps on booting into X but my harddisk is constantly running and it keeps X hanging for about 5 sec's every 25 something sec's (even the mouse freezes).
I have Win XP Pro installed on that HDD with Fat32, Could this cause the problems (I read somewhere it wouldnt)?
Would the problem be solved if i made a Linux partition on the HDD and installed Knoppix there?
THX in advance,
Manolo Schilperoort
