Cheatcodes for Spanish lang and keyboard don't work for me in v7.4.2

[Porteño]

I'm using v7.4.2 in a pendrive made with flash-knoppix. After typing knoppix lang=es and entering the password only a black screen is shown. Same behaviour with keyboard=es.

Is there some workaround for this?

Thanks,
Eduardo

Are there error messages using the cheatcode "knoppix testcd noimage" (omit "lang=es")?

[Porteño]

After telling

Knoppix 7.4 found at: /dev/sdb1
Checking Knoppix/Knoppix...

a few minutes later the OS shows a black screen and gives no other sign of being alive. It no even asks for a password.

It looks like a hardware error. Did you test RAM with the cheatcode "memtest" (not "knoppix memtest") for some hours?

[Porteño]

Will use another netbook, same model, and then I'll tell you. But cheatcodes worked fine with v7.2...

[Porteño]

Now I used both netbooks, but kept watching the screen:

Knoppix 7.4 found at: /dev/sdb1
Checking Knoppix/Knoppix...
ALL FILES OK
...
The graphical environment...

And then the black screen.

Can you switch to a console using [Ctrl Alt F2] and see anything? If so, type

su
reboot

and try some of the other cheatcodes to find a solution for your graphic chip. "memtest" had no errors?

[Porteño]

The OS does not respond to Ctrl Alt F2.
Will run memtest tonight.

Thanks, Werner.

After a time far from Knoppix because of a Synaptic problem, I’m using it again as my main OS.
When I enter cheat codes "knoppix keyboard=es xkeyboard=es" Spanish keyboatd works fine, but with
LABEL knoppix
KERNEL linux
APPEND lang=en keyboard=es xkeyboard=es apm=power-off initrd=minirt.gz nomce libata.force=noncq hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1 loglevel=1

in /mnt-system/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
it doesn’t.

Is this the file I have to edit?

Thanks.

Which Knoppix version? Which installation - "Flash disk install" or "HD install"?
Have also a look at the end of Cheat Codes → Micro-Remastering.
