no sound from via8237 in knoppix 6.2
I have installed the latest distribution of Knoppix on my laptop hard drive and am troubleshooting a lack of sound from the 8237 via chip. I am trying to run the "Knoppix alsa" cheat code from the boot prompt, but there is not enough time because it only shows for a millisecond before the boot process continues. 1. Is there a way to insert the cheat code into the boot process somewhere through Konquerer? or 2. Would it be possible to pause the boot process so I can try the cheat code manually?

Does the sound work OK when running from CD or DVD? If so you just have one of many many problems that occur when people insist that Knoppix can be installed to hard drive. I suggest that you consider a version of Linux intended for hard drive install. If you like Knoppix then the testing version of Debian might be a very good choice, and a lot less painful than fighting with a Knoppix "install".
