Tecra500:Problems 2003-07-26, success 2003-06-06

[kx14386]

Hello boys an girls,
several weeks ago I have spent several days and installed successfully on my Toshi KX-2003-06-06. (32MB RAM 8GB HDD)
Now I am trying to install KX-2003-07-26 without destroying my previous installation but my Toshi don't like it.javascript:emoticon('')
It hangs on several different steps during booting from the KX-CD.
The previous Installation KX-2003-06-06 is still running, hier the output of "lspci -v"

It will be great if you have an idea how to use the previous installation and take the challange.
Thanks in advance for your help!

It hangs on several different steps during booting from the KX-CD

Where does it hang and what messages are you getting?

[kx14386]

Hi aay,pleasec to meet you!
The place where the KX-CD-bootprocedure hangs mostly is after displaying the KX-Background, you know this strange KX-eye...
The last hang was bevor displaying the background, here the error messages:
...
Autoconfiguring devices...

Looks like it's choking while trying to set up networkiing with your Hisax ISDN card. You might try booting like so:

boot: knoppix nopcmcia

Failing that try this:

boot: failsafe

Another test before I make holidays (please don't close this thread, I am back at Sep.8th).

#0 booting without pcmcia-fritzcard with
knoppix lang=de

hangs like booting before

#1booting with
knoppix nopcmcia
...
some time later
kde-session starting with error pop-up-window:
...
Couldn't start kdeinit. Check your installation
okay
...

after acknowledge above
there appear one

xmessage-window:
...
not enough memory to start kde!
(at least 82MB required)
Using RWM windowmanagerinstead.
Caution:Not all programs in
the left-mousebutton-menu will
work here!

okay
...

and one shell-window, the knoppix-cd is mounted and I can communicate with the operating system.


#2booting with
failsafe
...
some time later
kde-session is starting
the appearance is normal but shrinked, black frame surrounding kx-eye-background and following symbols on the left side
trash
CD-ROM
Floppy disk
Hard Disk Partition [hda1]
Hard Disk Partition [hda3]
KNOPPIX
SelfLinux

Problem:
Bottom line with all the symbols for starting programs, root shell etc. is missing.
I cannot use the mouse.
I cannot communicate with the operating system.

Question regarding #1:
How to proceed with initializing the pcmcia-cards and the rest of the system.
My objective is to install kx using
knx-hdinstall
Last time I achieved this with KX-2003-06-06
