Knoppix doesn't start on Compaq Evo N1015v

[Stephen]

Any ideas? I checked some other posts and found:

linux nomce ide=nodma pci=biosirq

for RH but I'm not sure if there's a cheat for KNOPPIX as such (apparently the MCE is a known problem)

Also it appears that I've got some funky IRQ's

- Thanks

You can use those they are just parameter's that can be passed to the kernel at boot time it does not matter if it is Redhat or Knoppix(Debian) that you are booting. Also they are already included in the cheat codes page.

Hi - I have the same problem - EVO n1015v... I have tried booting with "knoppix -b" and that does give me a cl interface. However, when you said earlier to call "/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig &" is where I seem to get lost... I am not sure what command you are excecuting and where you are looking from there. I VI'd that file to look at it, but I am still pretty much a newbie, and am not familiar enough with linux commands yet... any further assistance you could provide would be hugely appreciated!

ps: the knoppix noaudio has the same results (after autoconfig, it hangs).. actually pretty much all the cheats i used have the same result so far...

Thanks!
