Knoppix 3.7 - Turning off the "failsafe" boot opti
I recenty got the Knoppix 3.7 all burned to a CD...but I had some problem getting it running on my system.
I ran it on a different computer, and it worked fine, but on my computer, with the default boot options (boot: ), it would look for the Knoppix cd in /dev/scd0. For some reason, this did not work, said it couldn't find the Linux filesystem.
When I booted with "boot: failsafe", it skipped a bunch of hardware detection, but then successfully found the knoppix CD on /dev/hcd (or not sure if there was a 'a' or anything on that, but that's not important.
My main problem is this: my USB mouse does not work in my new Hard disk Knoppix installation (dual booting winXP home and Knoppix), because it's not detecting USB (tells me it's skipping it "as I requested"). I had to borrow my brother's old serial mouse...since my mouse is a USB mouse (I hate having a usb mouse!).
My question: how can I turn off the "failsafe" option, or make it detect my hardware again? I don't think the /scd0 vs. /hcd will be an issue, now that I'm not booting from CD anyway.
Thank you!
