With the new cd, you don't need to put dma, its added auto. But for daftly sake try nodma anyway.
Next try
expert26
and see where the errors are.
well here´s a real challenge:
I´ve got a Pcchips 748 LMRT mobo PIII 450Mhz slot 1 (all onboard Puaj!!) with 128 Mb of RAM (8 shared with VGA card), Hd 8 Gb Samsung 5400 RPM, Samsung cd-r, Sony (lite-on) Cd-rw, Intel chipset modem 56K I think it´s a winmodem, cause it needs drivers to work in W$ mill edit.
I´ve tried Knoppix 3.3 first, but i can´t reach even the part when it puts:
Welcome to knoppix live-on-cd!!
I´ve been booting using this lines:
Knoppix vga=normal screen=800x600 mem=120M (my mobo shares 8Mb) noscsi noapm noapic acpi=off
Nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I thought it was the scsi emulation, so i´ve download the 3.6 version in orther to use the 2.6 kernell, and I can only reach the part WELCOME TO....................
The cd is OK it works in EVERY computer exept mine.
I don´t use vga=normal Anymore, cause I can see tux when it starts. I just don´t know what to do.
i´ve flashed the bios, read every cheat code, believe me it is very frustrating.![]()
now I use
knoppix26 mem=120M noscsi noapic acpi=off dma (the new bios has dma acceleration enable) noapm lang=es desktop=icewm
ANY SUGEST!!!!!???????????????????
THANKS IN ADVANCE

I´ve tried nodma and expert26, but I can reach only the same part i said in the previous post.
Thanks anywhay!!!!!!
I also tried memtest, and there are no errors.
I was thinking in installing a Debbian linux but it fears me cause if a debbian base (Knoppix) doesn´t work, Debbian won´t work too!
Heres a problem I´ve got for some time, I don´t know if it could be useful, the date an the time goes crazy every time, but I don´t get any advice of battery low in the bios, and the bios config doesn´t get erased.
THANK YOU!!!!
I INSIST!!!! ASK WHAT YOU WANT I WILL REPLY EVERITHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
