Hi,

I downloaded Knoppix 2003-04-28 and it worked perfectly on my desktop computers, but it doesn't want to work on my laptop. I think that in all there are 3 problems:

Problem 1:
When detecting USB it stops there. I do not get the following line which should be "Enabling hotplug Manager". I manage to go about this problem by using knoppix nousb.

Problem 2: (bigget problem)
After I get the line "Autoconfiguring deviced |||||||||| done.", the system simply stops. It's like all the power has been removed from most of the devices, sin the CD stops spinning and the PCMCI Network Card's lights go OFF.

If I leave it like that for sometime, I would get a lot of lines which mainly are a repetition of these 2 lines:
cloop: error -3 uncompressing block
end_request: I/O error

and at the end there would be:
Error: No siutable X-Server Found for your card
INIT: no more preccesses left to do

Then if I leave it for some more time I would get again a lot of "cloop" and "end_request" errors and:
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: diabled for 5 minutes.

I have also tried using expert and failsafe but still at some point the system would stop.

Problem 3: (possibly related with the above)
When my PCMCIA card is being detected, half way through the "Autoconfiguring Devices" comes in and the card is switched off. Then I get the following errors:
cardmgr[57]: + operation failed
cardmgr[57]: start cmd exited with status 1

Specs of my Laptop:
name: HP Compaq EVO N1015v
cpu - Mobile AMD Athlon XP 1800+
hd - Fujitsu 20GB
vga - ATI Mobility UI
screen - digital flat panel
pcmcia - Texas Instruments PC-1410 Cardbus Controller

Could anyone give me some other hints which I could try out?
