you didn't mention what happen, my guess is it hangs there. put noscsi in the boot prompt. that is "knoppix noscsi"

I have a similar problem at bootup. PCI device 00:1f.1 not available because of resource collision. I tried the "knoppix noscsi" without success. Previously I had "error only one processor found"
but "knoppix nosmp" fixed that O.K. but the above error still remains and the system goes through most of the boot/auto config process but just when the screen blanks before coming up
with the Knoppix desktop it hangs. The CD works just fine on two
other pcs I have access to although I haven't tried "knoppix testcd" yet.
System is a Dell Optiplex GX260, PIV, 512Mb, Radeon VE/7000, Western Digital 40Gb, Samsung SM-332B CDRW/DVD.

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated....

Thanks, Dano

--For resource collisions, you could try the ' pci=biosirq ' cheat code at boot...
