Well I will post my problem again in orther to get closer to the end of the trouble.

I have a PIII 450 Mhz. Mother PCCHIPS 478LMR all on board except the mothem. A HD samsumg 8 Gb. A CD Reader Samsumg, and a sony CD RW (16x8x32).

Well Iīve tried many times booting Knoppix but I have any succes.

When I starts using EXPERT I reach the part that said:

SCSI0=last updates emulations for ide atapi devives

Some things I could read while booting that seem errors was:
......
partition check:
hda=hda1
ide: late registration of driver
......

When I use FAILSAFE it says:

Welcome to K.O.P.P.I.X linux live linux-on-cd!

Looking for cdrom in: /dev/hdb

and it hungs.

When I starts using:

knoppix vga=normal screen=800x600 ram=120M desktop=icewm

It says:

loading vmlinuz..........
loading miniroot.gz.........
Rady
Uncomoresing linux....OK booting the kernell

It makes a little screen movement and thats all.

When I starts without VGA=normal, Tux appears and thats it!


I will be very pleased if you help me!


Thaks in advance.
