Can't even boot! Strange ide-scsi thing
Dear KNX-fellas, please help me!
I can use Knoppix with no problems in my Celeron 1Ghz, but unfortunately i can't even boot with the same CD on my Athlon 800Mhz. I have tried versions 3.1 and 3.2, but none of them works.
I put the disc on my CD-RW (it is master on secondary channel i think, on the first channel i have the HD as master and the CD as slave), boot from it; then i get the boot: screen and type knoppix; the screen changes, i get a tux on top of the screen and then this message appears forever and ever in the screen, befeore any other kernel message:
ide-scsi:(IO,CoD)!=(0,1) while issuing a packet command.
I assume it is something related to the scsi emulation for the CD-RW, but i can't boot from the other CD. I tried the nodma and noscsi options with no luck.
Would be possible to run my beloved Knoppix on my machine?
Thanks in advance

Just to make sure- you booted like this right:
knoppix noscsi

Just curious-Why can't you boot from the other drive?
Do you have any real SCSI devices present?
How about some hardware specs too.

All this is a bit outdated; i managed to boot with a floppy, hitting return on boot: (if i typed knoppix the same old thing appeared again). Then i booted into KDE with no problems; made a HD install and turned off the box. When i turned it on it started bootking up the kernel but i got the same ide-scsi message mixed up with another ones (they just scrolled way too fast for my eyes LOL). That is, back to where i started, but now booting from HD.
More info: Only IDE devices, no SCSI at all, but i think i do nned the scsci emulation in order to use the burner. ANd i don't know why i just can boot from it, if i place a disc on the CD-ROM the box just doesn't read it at all at boot time. Oddly enough.
Thanks again

Hmmmmm- this is a weird one. Up for a little experimentation? Disconnect your non-booting cdrom and see if it boots the cd then. Try swapping the cdrom drives- i.e put the cd-rw on /dev/hdb and your standard cdrom on /dev/hdc. Will that machine as it is currently configured boot ANY bootable cd or is it just Knoppix it doesn't like?
