Toshiba Satellite won't boot Knoppix (not even failsafe...)
I'm really at the end of my wits:
My brandnew Toshiba Satellite 2430-101 won't boot a knoppix CD (that's KNOPPIX_V3.1-2003-01-20-EN.iso as well as KnoppixKDE.iso - both CDs well working with other PCs).
Booting from the CD I get to the prompt where I tried various combinations of cheatcodes without any other results as a black screen after hitting return (after knoppix-txt: "OK, booting the kernel." then nothing) - no penguin, no hardware-detection...
I tried: knoppix xmodule=vesa|fbdev
****** knoppix screen=1024x768
****** knoppix 2
****** knoppix init 3
****** knoppix noscsi
****** knoppix mem=512M
****** failsafe
****** fb1024x768
****** knoppix-txt
****** knoppix vga=normal
I searched the internet/these forums/FAQs for answers but didn't find the necessary help - did I miss something? How can I solve the problem?
My Hardware:
*** P4-2,53GHz (Desktop)
*** 512MB RAM
*** 40G HDD
*** 15" TFT, 1024x768 native
*** nVidia GeForce4 420 Go (32 MB DDR-VRAM)
...and I just updated the BIOS... no success...
Any ideas anyone? I'd really appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance - and Mr. Knopper: Good work (otherwise !! I needed exactly such a tool a long time ago!
