    Boot Problems

    I have the same problem. I am currently running Knoppix 3.6 using 2.4 Kernel. I tried booting to Knoppix 3.9 and will not boot.

    Ive tried console only, acpi=off acpi = force ive tried failsafe and other commands including nohwsetup Z(I think that is right. ) But no can do.

    Im stuffed to know why 2.4 works but not 2.6 kernel. I am running a P4 2.4 GHz with 256 MB RAM 2 x 80 GB HDD and 1 4 GD HDD (which has now been taken out of the loop. ) NVidia Video Card GEForce4 440 with 128 MB RAM and On board Video / Network / Sound.

    Any Help please?

    failure

    ok system failed to boot on the fourth stage. It showed the processor, skipping hardware dectection of certain devices and then ran autoconfiguration scan.

    that went throught hit done and new line
    it just hung right there.
    thats was it, i could only reboot the system at the reset switch.

    Once you leave stage 3, the kernel starts the init process, which then starts /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig. One thing you could do is edit that file during stage 3 and add a 'set -x' at the beginning, after the '#!/bin/bash'. For example:
    Code:
    root@tty1[/]# head /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig   
    #!/bin/bash
    set -x
    # /KNOPPIX/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig
    # Basic system configuration and hardware setup
    # (C) Klaus Knopper <[email protected]> 2005
    
    PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin" 
    export PATH
    
    umask 022
    This will allow you to pinpoint where in the autoconfig script Knoppix is dying.

    OK. Now try boot: failsafe nohwsetup 1
    This will boot Knoppix without running the hwsetup program. You should get to a bash root shell. Do you?

    I am pretty much a NOOB when it comes to KNOPPIX. I have use linux before but that was years ago. I want to make a boot floppy but I can't seem to find any CURRENT information on how to make it. I have went to D:\knoppix and looked for boot.img. I tried mkbootfloppy.sh and it says it can't find /dev/cdrom even though I am booted in to KNOPPIX.

    I have fiddled with this for about 3 hours now and searched until my fingers are about to fall off.

    I want the boot floppy because the machine I am trying to put it on doesn't boot from CD's or at least when I put the Knoppix CD in the drive is just restarts the machine. The CD works fine on this machine.

    Any help would great.
