and for those use parameter "acpi=off" to boot kernel 2.6, you might also wish to try it with "acpi=ht"
Add acpi=ht, meaning run ACPI boot setup, but do not enable the interpreter.
A mirror that has the files ATM.

Hi
as with the first 3.4 release I am not able to boot 2 PC's with the 2.6 kernel. Both of them boot properly with the 2.4 kernel.
With 2.6 the PC's freeze completely (not even Ctrl-Alt-Del work) on the network adapter:
...
Network device eth0 detected, DHCP broadcasting for IP
...
Both PC's have a Netgear FA310-TX card (DEC 2114x) which has worked with Xandros, Debian and Mandrake 10(with 2.6 kernel). With the 2.4 kernels it usually used the tulip driver from D.Becker but with Knoppix 3.4 and kernel 2.4 it actually uses:
...
eth0: DC21140 at 0xec00 (PCI bus 0, device 9), h/w address 00:40:05:42:c3:40,
and requires IRQ15 (provided by PCI BIOS).
de4x5.c:V0.546 2001/02/22 [email protected]
...
Will get Mandrake 10 back on one of these to see what they are using in their 2.6 kernel.
P.S. Mandrake 10 is using the tulip driver:
....
Linux Tulip driver version 1.1.13 (May 11, 2002)
PCI: Found IRQ 15 for device 0000:00:09.0
tulip0: EEPROM default media type Autosense.
tulip0: Index #0 - Media MII (#11) described by a 21140 MII PHY (1) block.
tulip0: MII transceiver #0 config 1000 status 782d advertising 01e1.
eth0: Digital DS21140 Tulip rev 34 at 0xec00, 00:40:05:42:C3:40, IRQ 15.
....

This loads the Linux 2.6 kernel without SCSI detection, which is where Knoppix hung on my computer.
Is it possible to do an "upgrade" from the previous knoppix 3.4 iso to the current one without downloading the newer iso?

Unfortunately not. I guess, it would be possible to use rsync, if the image was compressed with an rsync-aware gzip (or zlib). This would increase the size of the image with a few percent. That could be a problem, because the size cannot grow much, if it should fit on a cd-rom
Well, not too worry, I have ADSL & rewriteable CDs!Quote:

No, this is a speparate issue. This is on both releases even with noscsi . It is freezing on the network adapter (way past the scsi detection on the first release and on the second they even removed the scsi detection for the 2.6 kernel).Quote:

Has anybody tried the "linux26 toram" parameter ?
it's great, now we have a precentage, and minutes count down.
:D
Hi
I'm having this issue (bug?). After the scsi detection my PC freezes while checking for USB devices (I have no USB devices plugged in). Of course, this has nothing to do with scsi detection (I tested with noscsi, same results). This is with kernel 2.4 on the 2004-05-10 version... Kernel 2.6 works fine so far.
Is there anybody with the same problem?
Cheers...
i have tested this :
1) no sound card detected
2) no network
for sound, i have run sndconfig in root : okay
for network : no solution
could you specify your hardware models ??Quote:

any plan to integrated this into a future Knoppix distrubtion ?
it would be great and you guys could spend more time and more focuse on building a better knoppix rather than just resloving "module / driver bugs".. :roll:
This small update fixed the lilo 99 issue when installing to HD. I have a dual boot with WinXP and Knoppix26 on a Dell 7500 laptop. Now all I need is to get my Atheros wifi working.

This *small* update fixed ALL my problems with 3.4! Love it.
I have the same problem. Knoppix uses the driver de4x5 instead of tulip. The de4x5-driver just hangs at "DHCP broadcasting". I've installed to hd and changed the driver to tulip, which works fine. Maybe Knoppix should use tulip instead of de4x5 ? Or at least offer a cheatcode ?Quote:

Apparently the the time fix for version 2004-05-10 works except for just after midnight.
Now, where is the bug page for 05-10?
The one thing I realy miss is the integrated installer, I use Knoppix at school to quickly install my favorite distro with graphical interface etc.
For the rest Great job!
Have you tried changing /etc/localtime to point to your timezone, and then adjusting the time (or syncing with a time server)? It worked for me before...Quote:

Not directly. I assumed that by right clicking the clock and following the menus I would be doing the same thing. Bear in mind also that the clock behaved flawlessly until midnight local time, then all H broke loose, and it suddenly started behaving as if it were the 05-04 release.Quote:

I get the same issue when booting Knoppix 2.6 kernel inside Microsoft Virtual PC (which uses a virtual tulip card)Quote:

2.6's hardware detection isnt quite yet as good as the 2.4 series. but it will improve, and it goes faster than ever ;-)Quote:

Where can one find "Utilities" under the Knoppix directory? I am looking at V.3.4 2004-05-10en and can find nothing called "Utilities", much less a script for generating bootfloppies.
it could be its removed. i'm not sure, but afaik the kernel has become to huge, so it doesnt fit on a floppy anymore. so we can't create bootflopy's anymore. I dont think this removal has made it to the documentation yet. maybe you can find out wazzup and change the docs 8)
This might be the floppyscript:

Thank you, that solves the problem. I was looking for the floppy boot script on a directory of the 3.4 2004-05-10en CD-ROM and not on the desktop. However, the only problem with putting it on the desktop and not on the unbooted CD-ROM is that you have to have a successfully-booted Knoppix 3.4 to get to the floppy boot script, which is hard to do if you are unable to boot the CD-ROM in the first place. In passing, the 2004-05-10en release of Knoppix 3.4 seems to me to be close to perfect. I have now used this release on seven (7) very different machines ranging from old, low-powered to new, high-powered and all seem to work without hitch. Splendid job.
this new build still hasn't helped adaptec SATA controller a1210sa (sil chipset) users, knoppix detects the card fine, detects the drives (eventually, several lost interrupt messages), finally boots (after about 5-10 minutes) , and then can't access the drives. (I'm using JBOD, but RAID users are having same problems).
I think a new build is not only needed for SATA (I just want the ability to stop detection of it!)
But my webcam plays up with Knoppix installer as well.
When it comes time for soundcard to be detected, Knoppix goes for my Quickcam Pro 4000 webcam (it is supported by Linux apparently), and completely overlooks my Creative Audigy 2 Platinum.
I tried doing gnome meeting with this set-up.... but no dice. With no soundcard, Gnome meeting won't start!
any updates on the wine yet???
I have a similar situation where in my Laptop, Compaq Evo N800C boots 2.4.x kernel ok but freezes while booting 2.6.Quote:

After I go into Knoppix24, when I browse the internet the network speed is slower than usual.
I have a 2Mbps Cable connection with a gigafast router & my CNET.com bandwidth meter measurement comes to about only 400 Kbps with a 10/100 network card. Do I need to do anything.
thanks....
