Getting a "static" screen after boot
I am confused as to why this happening. I have booted knoppix with all good results from other computers, for some reason mine (which is much higher end than the others i booted it from) will not work properly.
I insert the disk, press enter to boot, it does its thing where it recognizes my hardware, "audit", etc.
Then one of two things happen
one- the screen just goes black, there is activity in the CDROM though.
Two - there is a band of 'static' in the middle of the screen. My monitor is 17", I would say the band is about 3.5" wide horizontal in the screen. It looks like the KDE blue on the edges, and the "LINUX IN USE" background black in the middle. I am not sure why there is a graphical problem. Any ideas?
I am running...
480W power supply
MSI Neo motherboad
400mhz 512MD DDR RAm
Maxtor 40GB hard drive.
ATI radeon 9200SE
I have had Fedora run on this system no problem.

Static Screen, too
Weill, I'm waiting for a reply. I have the same problem. I've tried everthing I could find on this PC and nothing works. I have a PC that was built by someone. No specs available. Video is built into the motherboard. They lost their OS "windows" because of a MBR virus. SO, I'm trying to rescue their files and do a rebuild. I insert knoppix -- just got the cd's so they have to be new -- and tried numerous commands on the cheat sheet and I have the Knoppix hacker book from Orielly.
knoppix noagp noaudio noapm noapic acpi=off nodma nopcmcia noscsi nousb
for the video portion I've tried vga=0 OR vga=0 3 -- then init 5 -- I've tried "scan" and then all the video numbers 0 thru 9 one at a time. I don't know where to go. I've searched this site and tried all I could find. Must be a common problem because 28 people have viewed this message and no answers.

liz
had the same problem and found the answer here a few weeks ago
i also have integrated video on m-board
at boot type
knoppix vga=0 3
then at prompt type
modprobe intel_agp
return
init 5
that should do it
once that is fixed maybe we can figure out together how to make a persistent image on the hard drive that retains the fix and doesn't revert to garbage screen!
thanks
