Boot problem
Hi all
New to this forum but not linux or knoppix... I have a burnt knoppix 3.6 cd, which has worked fine on other machines... but wont work on one which i need it.
The computer boots up... gets to the boot image page... then i press enter and it does a bit of hardware probing... and then stalls...
it stops on Looking for CDROM in: /dev/hda (which isnt my cdrom drive)
the last few lines b4 that were...
Scanning for USB/Firewire devices.... Done.
Enabling DMA acceleration for: hda [WDC blah blah]
Enabling DMA acceleration for: hdb [LTN525]
Looking for CDROM in: /dev/hda
and thats it... the same cd has worked on other machines b4... also on this one i notice that it was like in text mode boot up or something it didnt have any graphics to the boot process like other machines... but not concerned about that.
Cheers
