HDD Install gone bad
Ok I installed knoppix to my hard drive..
everything is ok untill I try to boot up I get this error
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
I read on another thread it's because I need to remove A line from the bootmisc.sh file so I booted from the CD and attempted to change this file but it is read only and I cannot change any of the file permissions or anything.. I right clicked the drive and chose change read/write status or something and made the drive writable but it didnt seem to do anything.
So i right clicked the drive again and changed file permissions there to all read/write but that didnt work either...
I tried these commands from another thread
sudo mount /dev/hd?? /mnt/hd??
sudo favorite_editor /mnt/hd??/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
But I get the message saying the drive is busy or something.
Also when I boot from the hard drive I notice the drive is mounted as read only there also..
I hope you guys can help

I don't think you can write to your hdd with that condition.
What you can do is try check you hdd cable.
Check your hdd setting in bios, try re-dectect it again.
Try use different version of kernel.
Check/test memory.
Check for bad sector.
Reformat.
Zero out your hdd : dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1000
Good luck

Try instead:
Boot knoppixCD with the nodma cheatcode
Open a console
sudo su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/hd?? /mnt/hd??
mcedit /mnt/hd??/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh (comment out dma with a # /sbin/hdparm -qd1 /dev/hd?)
mcedit /mnt/hd??/etc/lilo.conf (add nodma to the append line)
chroot /mnt/hd??
lilo -v
If chrooting doesn't work, try:
umount /dev/hd?? /mnt/hd??
mount -o dev /dev/hd?? /mnt/hd??

Ok I boot from the CD anter the root shell...
I type sudo su and I guess it works as it goes to the next line
then I tryed "mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1"
and it said I must specify a filesystem
So I skipped to "umount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1"
And it said Not Mounted
I tryed "mount -o dev /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1"
And it sayd Invalid option -o
I tryed "mcedit /mnt/hd??/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh"
This command works and opens up a thingy to edit it but I go to save and i cannot save it.
I also notice the I cannot change the permissions of this file.. Howcome.. This may also be what I need to do to edit that file..
I have no idea what is going on...

What FS is it? If ext3 try:
mount -t ext3 -o remount,rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
Could you post the output of: sudo fdisk -l
So I skipped to "umount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1"
And it said Not Mounted
I tryed "mount -o dev /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1"
And it sayd Invalid option -o
Weird, I've never got that error.
I tryed "mcedit /mnt/hd??/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh"

Possibly because it's mounted read only.
If your /etc/fstab is set up correctly when booted with liveCD and nodma cheatcode you could try just sudo mount -a to mount all partitions rw.

I am still having trouble..
I type mount -t ext2 -o remount,rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 It says...
mount: /mnt/hda1 not mounted already, or bad option
I typed sudo mount -a It says...
Mount: pts already mounted or /dev/pts busy
I Typed sudo fdisk -l I get returned...
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1245 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks ID System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1186 9526513+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 1187 1245 473917+ 82 Linux Swap
I am really confused here.. Do you have MSN, Yahoo or mIRC or something that I can talk to you on?

Well I tried reindtalling using a different install method and now I am getting alot of errors during install and it hanging at 89% If I cant get all this fixed within an hour I am going back to Microshit Windows.
But if you do have MSN, Yahoo or another way I can speak to you I would like to get all this sorted.

The install errors look like it would be a bad burn http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Downloading_FAQ
- try booting with the testcd cheatcode http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Cheat_Codes
- check the md5sum of the iso if you still have it http://www.linuxiso.org/viewdoc.php/verifyiso.html
- burn at max x4 speed http://members.home.nl/lsnoek/iso.htm

I have burned it from the original 3 times now and also onto good quality CD's at 1x, 4x and 24x still same problems with each speed
I am on 56k so I dont want to download it all over again right now..lol

Are you trying to say that you can't be bothered to check the md5 sum? If the md5 sum is right then there would be absolutely no reason to download it again, even if you wre on a high speed connection. That you made the above statement makes it sound like you didn't bother with this step, even after people went to the trouble to give you links on it.
