THANKS buddy for help ,
i tried that cheatcode , i got the same problem , he got blocked,
exactly,when he tell me scan harddisk ........... done , it stops , and it didnt run xserver , and i dont see KDE desktop
whats the matter ??

[Markus]

It stopped after scanning for hd's? Then try some of the no- options like nodma noscsi noapic as well as the ones for i810. What exactly is the last thing you see?

[Peur2Rien]

yes brother
the last thing i always see, in all the cases , is :
scanning for harddisks ...etc.......... Done
and then the PC is blocked , i cant reboot with keyborad , evrything is blocked , and the cdrom is stoped too , dont turn anymore .
so what is the problem with my box ?
the failsafe mode works instead easily

[Markus]

so what is the problem with my box ?

A bit hard to say unless you can post specific errors. If failsafe works it's surely just about finding the right cheatcodes. You need to do some experimenting with them until you find a set that works. Unfortunately the Docs page seems to be down right now but I would start with:
knoppix vga=normal lang=us screen=800x600 nousb noapic noacpi noscsi nodma

so i have to try the cheatcode that u wrote right now ?
i will run knoppix now , and tell you exactly when its stops , but the error that i got everytime , is Undefined mode number , press space to continue , but i dont think that is the problem , im sure that there is a device wich dont allow knoppix to run.

Well, we can't help much unless you try something and post back what you tried and where it failed.

im sure that there is a device wich dont allow knoppix to run.

Probably so. Do you have any strange hardware like SATA RAID? You might just want to disconnect the HD's to see if they are problematic.

hello Markus ,
i finally find the problem ,
i disconected my HD and then knoppix continue its scanning , lol but when he finish i see a black screen , it doesnt find x server i think in my card , and i wrote fb1024x768 , and when he finish scan it told me No suitable x-server found on ur card , then i wrote knoppix screen=1024x768 xvrefresh=60 , then everything is alright , i see KDE desktop , very nice , so its the harddisk wich causes the problem , but im still getting this error, U passed undefined mode number ......., anyway
why my hd cause those problem ? is there any solution?

Well add the vga part: knoppix screen=1024x768 xvrefresh=60 vga=normal

why my hd cause those problem ? is there any solution?

I don't know much about hd problems but what kind of hd is it? Type, make, model?
And what kind of controller do you have for it?
