All,

hopefully someone can help me out. I'm booting from CD but it drops me anytime to this "very limited shell" (only cat, insmod,... is available).
Here some details and what i tried out so far:

System: Toshiba Portege 3440 with (Freecom)CDROM via PCMCIA.
Knoppix: Vers 3.2 and 3.1 (two different CDs, both worked fine on other PCs)

I tried out:
a) at start prompt: ide2=0x180 ->no impact
b) several knoppix noscsi,... -> no impact
c) the seperate boot disk images from luelljoc ->no impact
d) following the idea that Freecom CDROM w/h PCMCIA are only working with IRQ3 (posted on www.xenonsoft.demon.co.uk/freecom-cdrw.html) I changed /pcmcia/etc/config the ide-cs device entry from
Code:
#device "ide-cs"
#  class "ide" module "ide-cs"
#
to
Code:
device "ide-cs"
  class "ide" module "ide-cs" opts "irq_list=3"
(Thanx to luelljoc without your bootimages I couldn't try this)
Anyone out there with new ideas?
Thanx in advance, Marcus
