Hey..
No variant of knoppix wants to work on my pc, i tried to boot gnoppix, it boots fine but after a few seconds it just reboots itself.
then i tried morphix that gives me the only one cpu error, i tried the cheat with "morphix nosmp" the error goes away but the system doesn't boot and hangs at the start of the procedure with no output.

i tried something else, not a knoppix variant.. SLAX ... freezes at the boot procedure under Attached ide device or something like that...

my system is :
p2.6 HT
512MB DDR
MSI Neo2 Motherboard
120 GB Sata raid hardrive


pleaseee help me guys !!!
thanks alot...

its because the current 3.3 version doesn't support SATA yet maybe?

Probably if you disable your SATA controller in the bios it will boot.

ok.. the sata problem explains why slackware doesn't boot...
but gnoppix does boot and reboots itself automatically
and afaik the only one cpu problem in morphix is not sata related...

on another note, how come morphix and gnoppix have different errors, aren't they both made from knoppix..?

i disabled sata and the only thing that would boot was slax..
