Hangs on hwsetup

[aekl]

Hello,

Im trying Knoppix 4.02 CD on my Asus Pundit with a Hercules DVB card.
I disabled every onboard peripheral in the bios (USB,ETHERNET,FIREWIRE,PCMCIA)
When i boot knoppix it hangs after the message "Autoconfiguring devices XXXXXX Done"

I have tried a couple of startup options like "nousb noapic" with no luck.
I scanned the forums for some hints ran across a post explaining that i could boot inte nohwsetup.
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20099
I tried the following command "knoppix nohwsetup 3 vga=0x305"
This boots knoppix to a command prompt.

I then did the command "strace hwsetup -a -s"
This is the final screen output of the command. (visible on the monitor)

Thanks for answering the post.

I tried all the boot prompt settings. (acpi=off, acpi=off noapic and pci=bios)
No luck

What i also tried was to remove my Hercules Smart-TV card. Then it works fine to boot knoppix.
Found this on a link: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.ph...t_TV_Satellite

Can someone say if i need to add something to my Knoppix installation to get it to work?
