    I need help booting knoppix

    Hi,
    When I try to boot Knoppix on my computer, the following message appears:

    ACPI: BIOS age (2001) fails cutoff (2002), acpi=force is required to enable ACPI
    audit(1121268840.12 : initialized

    and then it stucks.

    I want to know what the problem is, and what can I do to fix it.

    Thanks for the help

    Knoppix boots with a splash screen. At that splash screen you can enter codes which will force Knoppix to do certain things. Theses codes are known as Cheat Codes. You may need to enter some codes that allow it to make sure of your system's hardware. You may need to boot it with:
    knoppix acpi=force
    or
    knoppix acpi=off

    Thanks for helping me.
    But there are still more problems.
    After booting it with knoppix acpi=force, there were many error messages like:

    starting init process
    hdb: command error
    error=0x54{AbortedCommand LastFailedsense =0x05}
    ide: failed opcode was :unknown
    end request :I/O error,dev hdb,sectotor 137506
    cloop:Read error at pos 700821504 in file /cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPPIX ,9180 bytes lost
    Buffer I/O error on device cloop0, logical block

    In addition there was a warning message:

    Autodetection seems to hang,please check your computer BIOS settings

    fread magic :input/output error

    Finally, the following message appears:


    Attention
    out of range
    h:01.2kHz V:106.1Hz

    What can I do to fix it? thanks for any help.

    A couple possible problems: your Knoppix CDR is bad or the CDR was burned too fast or your CDROM drive is too sensitive to fast burned CDRs.

    See the FAQ My PC will boot off of the burned disc. It is strange since it loads but then stalls or it loads but is giving me I/O errors. What's going on?
