At first autoconfig worked every time I restarted my knoppix 3.6.

Then, later sometimes the status bar from the autoconfigure would be short and my network cards and soundcard wouldn't work. That used to be infrequent. Now, the autoconfigure satus bar is always short and my netowork cards and soundcard are never detected. I didn't change any of my peripherals.

The autoconfigure always works perfectly if I boot from CD. Is there a way to maybe copy the autoconfigure routine from the CD onto my HD or somehow restore it to its CD state?

Thanks in advance.
