ve a similar problem with a Dell Optiplex GX270 (PIV, 770MB ram, 40GB hdd,etc). I've tried knoppix nosmp to get rid of the "only one processor found" error.

However, I get invalid mode number passed right after the boot screen and the sound card is not recognized at all. The video xmodule is recognized as i810. In any case, I get no sound and only 640x480.

Has anyone fixed anything like this before? I'd really appreciate some help on this! I've tried all kinds of cheats and nothing but nosmb did anything for me!

I tried "knoppix nosmp alsa" and it tried to configure alsa and I get no error message when playing *.oggs with XMMS anymore, but I don't hear anything....

TIA,
