    Troubles with boot 5.1.1 Knoppix on Dell Latitude notebook.

    Troubles with boot 5.1.1 Knoppix. There is followin in the screen:

    Welcome to the KNOPPIX live GNU/Linux on CD!

    Running Linux Kernel 2.6.19.
    Total Memory available: 125092kB, Memory free: 117776kB.
    Scanning for USB/Firewire devices... Done.
    Enabling DMA acceleration for: hda [IBM-DBOA-2513]
    Enabling DMA acceleration for: hdc [CD-ROM CDR_U200]
    Lookin for CD in: /dev/hdc


    ... and nothing more except sound of working cdrom. Box is P1 Dell Latitude notebook. Very old Knoppix (3.3) works fine. Any ideas?

    Welcome.

    Just a guess, but 3.3 didn't have DMA on by default and I think 5.1.1 does. Try knoppix nodma at the boot prompt.

    Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.
