Usually some cheatcode or sequence of cheatcodes will do the trick. It just requires a little perseverence to sort them out. After a while, you can get fairly proficient with them. I have one laptop that defies all logic, but it will boot each time, just with certain issues. Some cheatcodes fix one issue, just to have another pop up. I'm sure I will get it sorted out eventually, but it runs fine with the Suse 10.1 Live DVD and earlier Knoppix versions. Suse seems a little more "laptop friendly" and has done well for many of my Linux laptop projects.

Glad to see you stuck with it and found a resolution.
