I don't quite know what "harddisk were plugged" means, but I strongly suspect there are more differences in those systems than the Toshiba having NTFS partitions (starting with the others are apparently not even Toshibas). I don't think it has anythig to do with NTFS partitions. You might want to read this recent thread: Boots on 1 PC but not on the other ???
it simply means that harddisks were present during boot.
With Knoppix 3.7, this laptop was booting correctly. All i know i that on all the other machines, partitions are either ext3 or fat32, but as far as i remember none is NTFS. (and i can't check for now).

Thanks for the link, but it didn't help me ...
checksum is good, and the Knoppix CD is directly on network using NFS, and a mount -o loop

And you're right, the other are not even Toshibas ... The Toshiba is a laptop, not the others ...

And here is my commandline in PXEGrub :
(nd)/boot/knoppix-vmlinuz nfsdir=192.168.0.3:/partage/knoppix-cd/ nodhcp lang=fr desktop=kde vga=792 ramdisk_size=100000 BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix

Update (12 april, 14:33 Paris, France) :
I've just checked, on another machine with a 40Go harddisk, with ext3/fat32 partitions, there is no problem !


Err ... The ASUS has also FAT32 ... and boots correctly ..
