Great site folks.

I've got Knoppix 3.2 (7-26-2003) and Intel onboard sound and network cards. The sound and network cards wouldn't work initially with the CD, until I read the posts on this site and figured out that I should use the cheatcodes:

knoppix alsa noapic

with these codes, Knoppix works perfectly from the CD.

HOWEVER...

I installed Knoppix to my hard disk using the new script, knoppix-installer. It boots fine, but now I have no sound or network again. My machine also has Windows XP and Suse on it so I'm using the Grub installion from Suse for my bootmanager.

I've looked all over this site, the debian site, and on google for some method of disabling APIC by passing an argument to the kernel from Grub, but everything I've tried hasn't worked. I've tried:

noapic
apic=off
disableapic (this was the way Suse did it)
append=noapic

The kernel is detecting everything fine, lsmod shows the corrected modules loaded. There's definitely some sort of IRQ conflict that's causing the problem and the noapic cheatcode works great for the CD. What to do with the HD install??

I've spent the past 18 years working on DOS/windows machines, but I've only used linux for the past few months.

Thanks.
