[quote="evets"]When I try to boot using "failsafe" from my Knoppix 3.4 cd, I get an endless
stream of error messages of the form

isapnp: unexpected or unknown tag type X for logical device N (device 1), ignored
/quote]

If I type "knoppix noisapnp pnpbios=off" at the boot prompt, knoppix boots.
It might be helpful to add a mention of noisapnp to the cheatcode
documentation in case someone else has the same problem in the future.

Once knoppix is running, I can successfully run
isapnp isapnp.conf
where the isapnp.conf file has been copied over from a redhat6 system that
runs on the same machine. That would seem to indicate that the isapnp built
into the kernel reads the device differently from the standalone isapnp program.
