does the armada have floppy? if yes, make a bootfloppy.
Hi All,
I just got knoppix 3.3 CD, it work with no problem on a DELL desktop.
But on my armada m700. On the boot prompt I push <enter>, get the "loading" message and after 3 min, I get the follwoing message:
"Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue.."
After this message I have to re-boot my armada. Any help welcomed.
Thanks.
Amine.

Is the m700 able to read the cd if you first boot into windoze & then insert the knoppix cd ?Originally Posted by chouicha
No it doesn't, once I select the CD drive I hear it spinning but window explorer just hang. On my DELL desktop windows can read it, but not the m700.
Should I look for another knoppix CD? Thanks.
Armada has a multi-bay drive (I can have either the floppy drive or the CD driver, but not both). Using the the floppy boot, I get only a minimal shell. Thanks.
I think your problem is that the CD drive can't read the particular CD you have Knoppix on.Originally Posted by chouicha
(and it probably wouldn't be able to read it no matter what was on it)
Try burning it on a different brand of CD. Some drives are also better at reading CDRWs while others seem to work better with CDRs.
Are you using a docking station?
I have a similar problem with my m700 when it is in the docking station. Once I removedit and boot it standalone, knoppix 3.3 works fine.
