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.
does the armada have floppy? if yes, make a bootfloppy.
Is the m700 able to read the cd if you first boot into windoze & then insert the knoppix cd ?Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
