Hi
I downloaded KNOPPIX_V3.3-2004-02-16-EN.iso and burnt on a CD.
I rebooted earlier today with the new Knoppix.
Boot promt comes up and after pressing enter, screen went blank and stayed blank for a few minutes and no activity from CD or HD. I finally had to restart the computer.
I looked around for booting guides but did not find anything.
Have I missed something?
Or does the kernel hang?
It is worth adding that I had a kernel hang with Slackware 9.1 installation CD and the boot after installation during the mouse/keyboard recognition. I had to remove Slack 9.1 and install 9.0. Slackware 9.0 Installation CD boots fine and installed fine.
The only way I could get Slackware 9.1 to boot was to remove the USB keyboard and mouse and replace with PS2 k&M. Other USB devices such as Webcam did not cause any problems.
I have currently winxp on one drive and Slackware 9.0 on the second drive.
Could the problem with Knoppix be the same problem I was having with Slackware 9.1 and the new kernel?
Spec: PackardBell/AMD athlon XP 1900+/512RAM/40gb winxp+120gb Slack 9.0 HD
TIA
