"lost interrupt" error
I have run Knoppix successfully on many computers, both from CD and hard drive. One older computer I wish to run it on gives me an error after detecting all the hardware correctly and stops. After hard drive detection, the screen says "hdd lost interrupt." It generates the same message every 10 seconds or so, but doesn't go any further. It's a Micron Home MPC (from 1997) with an upgraded AMD 400 Mhz processor and 128 MB ram, with the M55-hi plus motherboard. It runs Win2000 Pro fine. Any suggestions will be appreciated, since I want to make it a dual-boot Win-Knoppix (Debian) machine.

Sometimes (not always, but worth a try) it helps to go into the bios and set it to "Non plug and Play OS". Windows will live happily with this and modern Linuxes often demand it.

Thank you, I have plug and play OS set to "no" already. I will try another version of Knoppix with the older kernel.

I figured it out! My hdd drive is an IDE Zip drive on the second IDE channel, slave to the CD-Rom. I have to have a Zip disk (even an empty one) in the Zip drive in order to boot and everythig's fine!
