No graphic logon screen
Hi
It's not a great problem but... So when I boot knoppix from CD I got a blue screen with a "boot:" . When I boot the same CD on other computer (Soyo mobo and Pentium III, same graphic card) I got a nice graphic with a logon ( boot: ) screen. The question is why no graphic logon screen ? I have ECS motherboard K7S5A Pro, and Duron 1300Mhz , graphic card is RivaTNT M64 , RAM - 640MB.
If I boot knoppix CD in VMware (virtual computer) inside windows, then graphic logon screen is fine. No only text and blue background as in real computer.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Solved!.
The boot.img at \knoppix folder (a floppy syslinux boot image) must be created with the option -s (safe) to avoid this problem
A pararagraph from syslinux.doc
SYSLINUX can be used to create bootdisk images for El
Torito-compatible bootable CD-ROMs. However, it appears that many
BIOSes are very buggy when it comes to booting CD-ROMs. Some users
have reported that the following steps are helpful in making a CD-ROM
that is bootable on the largest possible number of machines:
a) Use the -s (safe, slow and stupid) option to SYSLINUX;
b) Put the boot image as close to the beginning of the
ISO 9660 filesystem as possible.
A CD-ROM is so much faster than a floppy that the -s option shouldn't
matter from a speed perspective.
