My IBM Thinkpad R40e works, sort of.
To boot, I had to use this:
DMA causes it to not see the CDROM. APIC and ACPI make it lock during hardware detection.Code:knoppix26 nodma noapic acpi=off
Ethernet works with the 2.6 tg3 driver, but not the 2.4 driver.
Sound worked on boot.
Graphics are unaccelerated, I think (glxgears gives 225 fps).
Yeah. I can't test the other stuff, so I'll say this is "sort of working"
Fujistu-Siemens E Series lLifebook 700Mhz 256Mb RAM, Knoppix works just fine from the CD and on a HDD install. Picked up all the hardware, graphics, sound, ACPI etc apart from (surprise, surprise!) the winmodem. Problem solved by buying a Hayes 56K external on eBay for a fiver plus postage (lots quicker than a winmodem too!). Oh, and the machine seems to run cooler, as does my brain and my temper! :wink:
oh yea its a dell inspiron 5100 and the true mobile 1300 wifi.. the other lan not working in red hat either, really dont know what im doing so plz help...
My Fujitsu C 2210 running just fine :D
My Acer Travelmate 801LCi (1.4Ghz centrino) is working very nicey with Knoppix3.4 with kernel 2.4.
One thing I cannot figure out is how to use power mangement in KLaptop -how do I access the ACPI panel to switch it on?
Anyone know? Thanks.
Dell Latitude D600
DOES NOT WORK. Boot sequence gets to the X11 drivers and then the screen goes dark and machine is unresponsive. Any ideas how to get pass that point? :?
Thanks.
Marcus
Dell Inspiron 8600
Centrino 1.6
Works great, except wireless Dell true mobile 1300 wifi which is basically Broadcom... Not detected. I read ndiswrapper or linuxant are needed, but have no idea how to use either of those. From what I read, RedHat had ndiswrapper built in already? *Knoppix revision? hint hint*
I got my sony vaio pcg-grt100 notebook to work with knoppix with ease. Just burned the ISO image and booted it up.
Although haven't installed my WL-103B PCMCIA wi-fi card... (no driver available) geez... hope these hardware manufacturers start supporting linux.
Anyway, just wanted to say that knoppix is great.. if not it rocks!
IBM T40 works great with KanotixQuote:

Hey,
Dual booting Knoppix 3.3 & crappy-Windows XP on:
IBM Thinkpad T30 (Pentium 4m) 512MB, 40Gb HD
Works fine with HD install and CD but I havent 'played' with it properly yet ;)
I have a Presario 2100US.It works well with KNOPPIX_V3.6-2004-08-16 with the following cheatcode:
knoppix26 nolapic noscsi
The nolapic option lets acpi work,something that didn't with earlier
versions.
The noscsi option is necessary for knoppix to set up the nic properly.
The built-in wireless nic works with ndiswrapper.
I have successfully used a netgear wg511 wireless card with this version.
If I had thought to take a Knoppix cd to the store,I'd have never bought this laptop.On the otherhand,it's forced me to learn alot.I've installed debian,knoppix and mandrake successfully on it.
I recently used Knoppix to "ghost" the hard drive in this laptop to a faster one.
Great tool.
I've got Damn Small Linux running on a TI Extensa-450.
486 DX4/75
12MB RAM
540MB Hard Drive (about 160 of that is DOS 6.22 / WfW 3.11)
Datastor parallel port 8X CD-ROM Drive
3COM 3CCFE574BT 10/100 PCMCIA NIC
Since the floppy drive is defective and can only read 720K disks despite being a 1.44MB drive, I had to stick the hard drive in another computer, the one I use as my hardware testing station, to actually do the Linux install (that's one of the things I love about Knoppix and Knoppix derivatives, unlike Windows, it is portable. No need to have to do a fresh reinstall every time you do any major hardware changes). Also, due to the limited amount of RAM for now, I am relegated to console mode. However, I do have a nice set of text-only packages installed. I just wish I could find a console-based text editor that can handle RTF formatted files.
Once I can get a bigger hard drive (say somewhere between 3 and 5GB), and get a pair of 16MB 72-Pin laptop DIMMs, I should be able to run X with a lightweight WM like Fluxbox.
Almost forgot. I just added another PCMCIA card to the collection that I scored at Goodwill today (too bad this computer only has one card slot, but for $5.00, I couldn't pass up a good 16 bit PCMCIA card). This one is a Lucent Orinoco Silver Wireless LAN adapter. I was very pleased to see DSL autoprobe the card and load the drivers, whereas, I am now on a frustrating hunt for WfW drivers for it. I'll be giving it a full test tomorrow. I found out our local library has a free wireless access hot spot, so I will be heading down that way tomorrow.
Tried the T41 with 3.4 (both kernels) and it boots fine, but screen resolution never better than 1024x768 regardless of cheat codes. Also failed to detect Intel wireless pro 2100, and refused to load module.
D/L'd the 3.6 version and used the 2.6.7 kernel -- detected the wireless pro 2100 immediately! :lol: No joy on the screen at first, but after experimenting, found that all I needed was:
knoppix26 screen=1400x1050 (I also use home=scan myprofile=scan) and it is perfect!
I'm using 3.6 on a Toshiba Satellite CDT 4030 - Celeron 300MHz, 192MB RAM, 4GB harddisk, so really nothing special, but it works flawlessly with the 2.4.x kernel.
On my other notebook, an assembled Centrino 1.7MHz with 512MB RAM, I had 3.6 up and running, but that's no surprise - Knoppix doesn't seem to like the Intel Pro 2200, though. When they fixed some minor defect, they replaced the Intel Pro 2100 by the 2200 - nice kind of service, but since then WLAN support is gone, so I'm lost (unless I use the PC card from the other notebook, but that's not the idea behind having a Centrino, is it...)
The driver for that seems to be in the making... http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/ I'm going to install 3.6 on the new notebook using a 2.6.x kernel, so I'll be able to try the driver.
And there's also hope for one wlan PC card I haven't been able to use, either: The 3com 802.11a/b/g 3CRPAG175 using the Atheros chip set: http://www.atheros.com/news/linux.html - the linux project doesn't have any files published except cvs snapshots, so I'll have to wait...
Knoppix 3.6 seems to work pretty well on my Dell Inspiron 5100 so far. I'm just starting to play with it. This is like learning a different language after using windows. The only gripe i have so far is the touch pad, I would like to disable the tap to click function but haven't discovered how yet.
HP Pavilion zv5200
Knoppix 3.6 (release 2004-08-16) seems to be OK.
Needed to boot: knoppix nodma
Ethernet works
Sound doesn't work out of the box
works great.
i've tried both 3.4 and 3.6 hdinstalls and both work fine.
the wireless card is not detected.. and i have not tried the modem, but the 10/100 Nic works fine.
also, to get full use of the wide screen, you have to add "1280x800" to each of the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 resolution lines ...
after a simple reboot, i have full wide-screen with full resolution!!
ohh yeah :)
I am running knoppix 3.4 c't edition on an Acer Travelmate alpha 550 and like it a lot! It works best with the following cheatcodes:
knoppix nopcmcia screen=1400x1050 xmodule=savage
* with pcmcia autodetection it will not start and since I do not use any pcmcia hardware it works fine without...
* I bought the travelmate with high resolution 15 inch display, thats why I need the screen=1400x1050 option
* using xmodule=savage gives the final display boost so divx movies don't shake while beeing played
* sound only plays on very low volume level compared to windows output... putting alsa cheatcode doesn't help... anyone knows how to fix this?
*I never tried the built-in modem using linux nor my usb-adsl modem "octal a360" which supposedly works if you know how
* my firewire disk works fine if I conect it before starting knoppix
Everything works on Compaq Presario 2100 using at boot:
knoppix acpi=off
or
knoppix26 acpi=off
Wireless and modem not tested!!
knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$ cat /etc/knoppix-version
3.6 2004-08-16
Gateway SOLO 1450
Knoppix 1.7
I'm using the cheat codes: knoppix nodma vga=normal
At first I wasn't able to boot. I was getting some errors with the video. When I used vga=normal that got rid of the error, but then the screen when blank. I refreshed my screen with the FN & LCD/CRT button and I got a bunch of text saying errors with the IO and loads of other stuff. Then I tried using noapictd with the same result. Then I tried using nodma and wala! It worked. Hope this helps anyone out here with the same problem.
hey , i'm new to linux, even tho I run debian redhat 9.0 and 7.3 on my servers ( I pay a guy to help out)
I finally got knoppix installed on my latop and got the wireless working with and acx100 netopia wireless card
yay!
i have a aston didital passport 2100 and it boots off the CD just fine.
It works with Knoppix 3.7/HDD install. Please see my message on this page:

I tried knoppix 3.7 successful on an ibm x20. I used the 2.6 kernel.
everything worked out of the box including WLAN.
greetings, gerhard
The gateway M275 boots from disk but so far hasnt detected the wireless card.
Emachines M5410 works fine in most cases... so far, i haven't got the widescreen support fully working.. sound doesn't work, it would be my next target :D wireless isn't working either.. other than that, everything else works fine :D
IBM TP 770 works (except for the soundcard). Even my pcmcia 56k winmodem works!
knoppix 3.7 works on Compaq Armada M700 with no modifications needed.:D Also works after HD install
Not tested modem as I'm using LAN connection.
Gateway 3520 with all the bells and whistles(new) Knoppix 3.8 on HD dual boot with XP
wireless, ethernet, modem ok.
Gives a sound/kernel error but sound OK!
Knoppix 3.6 works well on my laptop...had a few issues getting the wireless card and usb flash card to function though, but got that squared away. Works beautifully... Sometimes it's nice being a newbie :)
I am having a problem with the battry of my new Fujistu Siemens Amilo 7405 lab top. Every few minutes it shows that the time lift is 0 and restart X. This happens with Knoppix 3.8 and Kanotix 2005-2 while using IWP2200 wireless. However, It runs fine with WinXP. Any idea how to fix it?
RoverBook Nautilus E410W is just fine with Knoppix 3.9
Have not tried to run modem or WiFi.
I try to install Knoppix version 3.9 EN to my Fujistu-Siemens E Series Lifebook E4010.
It's fine,can detect my sound card and I'm happy with working on screen resolution at
1024 x 768, and wireless connection is seems fine (It's can be detect but I can't access to any website ^^;; , anybody know how to config it ?, I already set the proxy server and with that proxy server my WindowXP can work well )
I also have some problem about my modem it's not detect and I can't find any modem driver too, anybody know how should I config or find the driver online ? :?:
Thank you :)
About my Knoppix, it's perfect right now !
Thanks,
Iceclover =)
:D
Hi there, just a quick post here. I am running knoppix on a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo k7600 and it runs just fine.
I just posted in a couple of forums I frequent using an old Panasonic ToughBook with no h/d and little ram. I saved some configuration files from my Debian install on my Toshiba, booted Knoppix 3.7 on the ToughBook, copied the files to the correct directories and plugged in my cell phone. "pppd call verizon", started elinks and I was online. Knoppix is great!
