Hi everyone-

I've run Knoppix on other PC's just fine- including my Dell laptop w/o issue.

Just got this EPIA itx board from Newegg & wanted to test it out w/Knoppix vs. the whole HD install deal. Just want to see everything works (memory, vid., snd, etc...).

I have a CD-ROM attached & it gets to the Knoppix splash screen (I'm using 3.1) then immediately I lose the display (black). The CD-ROM is chugging right along, probably going through the rest of the routine- but I cannot see it?

Side questions related to this: this is the first mobo I've had w/onboard video. What should be set as "init first"? If it says "PCI slot" but I have no PCI video card, does it then move on to find the onboard AGP?

If I see the splash screen, does that mean my mobo's video is probably OK? Or is the splash screen not being shown via the onboard video at all?

Please help asap? I may need to RMA quickly if there turns out to be a problem with this board. Email as well as post & I'll be sure to get it.

Thanks all!

Mom
