Cant get Knoppix to boot

**ferlon** · 01-02-2007, 06:15 PM

[quote="jjmac"]I've got my '_mag_' 5.0.1 on the hdd at the moment, the kernel is ...

Code:

/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17

But is your PC a 965 one? Chipset what? And the Bios Setup: SATA? AHCI? All IDE? Legacy?

Howdy ferlon,

Just noticed your post on another thread

Seems you have a work around for that ...

No i'm using an Asus A8V and a AMD64 S969 +3000, the bios is AMI with a file date for Jan 2005, all purchased/built around may 2005. I haven't got the actual bios version handy though.

As you suggest on the other post, it is likely the kernel support that is the problem. And understandable for very new chipsets.

Somewhat disturbed to here that intel are going to discontinue pata/ide support ... sounds like a crazy thing for them to do. Sounds like a blantant push to roll people over on hw updating if thats the case. They must be very sure of their market.

Back to the point, it sounds like you will have to remater an updated kernel to fix that ...

With regards to your post dated:

I have never heard of such a magazine release though and doubt that it happened.

You doubt that it happened ... hmmmm ... well,

The 'home=' cli is completely ignored on the one i have.

Though the 'myconfig=' works fine. The earlier was my main quiery. In that it didn't seem to make sense as to why it shouldn't work.

And there are numerous irritating, though also curious bugs on the disc i got.

Not having a copy of both i can't really make a comparision to be absolutely sure.

The info i got was that there may have been an early mag release. And it did definately come from the mag mentioned. But i wouldn't think that it would be impossible for that to occur once any sought of public access is provided. Mags often like to get in early if they can for maketing reasons. As for versioning strings in text docs, i wouldn't be thinking that would be even unusual.

A mag issue is always a 'post date', in that the production process can start quite some time before hand. And once that machine starts there is a reluctance to interfere with it. So, 4 months may not be such a long time. As per the associated file stamps.

I find that disturbing ... Are you suggesting that i'm trying to lead you astray in that it wasn't a mag release ?, or that it wasn't that initial iso ?

Do you have any information, on a bug level that would distinguish those two images ?

Just for interest sake.

As i can asure you, that is where the image i have came from. And those are the dates, in .au AEST (day saving).

I was expecting some follow up on that but thought i would wait untill after all the new year stuff gets out of the way first before mentioning it.
