    IBM R40(e): Knoppix 3.4 & 3.6 do not boot but 3.3 does

    Hello

    while I had no problems booting and installing 3.3 on my IBM R40 (e) Laptop
    when I try to use 3.4 or 3.6 I receive the following msg:
    ACPI BIOS found act modules ....
    PCMCIA found starting cardmgr

    and then the Laptops hangs.

    I am very puzzled, is there any option in the booting prompt I could use?

    thanks in advance

    Try
    knoppix26 acpi=off
    should work with 2.4 kernel as well.

    Ok thanks, that worked nicely, I am not sure which kernel to use 2.4 or
    2.6 most likely I stick to the known beast.
