Ac97 detected, no sound

[greygooseplz]

Works!!!

Glad to hear it.

I think it was the knoppix26 alas-intel8x0

AFAICT knoppix seems to have recognised the i8x0 as ac97 instead.

One of the strogest points in Linux seems to be the community...

I couldn't agree more.

Ok, im about to reinstall to my HDD again ...How will i enter this code? i wont get that boot option again wil I....? I should know by now, as many times ive installed knoppix...

You should enter all the cheatcodes at boot when about to install to hd.
If alsa doesn't work anymore after the install try:
su
cd /etc/init.d
./alsa-autoconfig

sound worked after HDD install without any work

I had to turn off CUPS printing though...I kinda guessed on it (NO CUPS)
I kept getting a INIT :ID Respawning too fast disabled for five minutes...Over and over again...
Before I fixed that problem I booted with the 2.4 kernel, it worked but I had NO MOUSE...arggg!...
I tabbed my way to the forums typed thhat complete error from Cups and then couldnt "tab" onto the submit button

So i booted up with the live cd and the internet didnt work

So I just guessed on a few commands to disable CUPS and my second guess was NO CUPS, it worked...


I still got sound, at least....
now I cant figure out how to install any of my games/software...

You could look at /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, at the top you'll find:
InputDevice "PS/2 Mouse" "CorePointer" or some such.
Look at the corresponding section lower down:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "PS/2 Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
# Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" ### /dev/psaux for 2.4.x
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "70"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"

Did you try running netcardconfig, looking at the output of ifconfig if the nic is eth0 you could try ifup eth0 and pump -i eth0

To stop it do:
su
/etc/init.d/cupsys stop
To disable it from starting at bootup do:
update-rc.d -f cupsys remove

Mostly you do this with apt: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2638
