knoppix on toshiba

**kmo170** · 11-11-2003, 03:01 AM

I have a toshiba 1405-s151when I try to run knoppix it goes through the install untill it get to "scanning hard disk partion and creating ect/fstab."
And then it just sit there. the cd stops running and nothing else happens.
The disk boots fine in my desk top machine.
any clues?

at boot: type:

knoppix dma lang=us screen=1024x768

that should work just fine but I warn you that it is likely ur harddrive won't show up on ur desktop if u have v3.3

You may even try using nodma.

Sounds similar to my Satellite 1800-514. It hangs on booting, i just press [enter] and it continues -- then the screen flicks on and off a few times, then when KDE loads it won't pick up my hard drive partitions (even FAT32s). On desktop it runs fine - no hitches!

Thats the part thats bugging me. It won't let me look at my hd, but it works fine on other computers. Toshiba laptops are the only computers (as far as I can tell) that is having this problem. Ne solutions yet???

I run knoppix 3.2 on a Toshiba Satellite 1555CDS with no problems at all. When I try to run knoppix 3.3, I can't get a usable configuration of X for kde. So, maybe the problems are with 3.3.
