6.4.3 hangs on "Booting the kernel"

[Fiodor]

On knoppix 6.2.1 my video card works great without cheats and compiz ON.

It works great also on Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 with radeon open source driver and goes ever better with closed driver fglrx.

I don't understand nothing about the green gnome that You have called leprechaun....

someone else knows how to enable compiz?

Thanks.

Thank you sharing the information that you laptop works fine with other versions of Knoppix and even with Ubuntu. That paints a very different picture.

I have nothing to suggest other than I have the impression that these drivers are very sensitive to kernel versions and even whether the code is compiled for a i686 or i386.

You have it working, but without Compiz. You could try 6.4.4 to see if it goes any better.

I think maybe you're right, ubuntu 10.04 and knoppix 6.2.1 has the same kernel 2.6.32, while ubuntu 10.10 has 2.6.35 and knoppix 6.4.3 has 2.6.36 and related xorg-server-drivers.

I have read in another thread that knoppix 6.4.4 is Beta version, can you confirm this ?
Do you know when the stable version will be out?

I don't want burn a CD for a beta...

Bye.

Never heard Krishna called that before.
