Last night I did a hdd install of knoppix 3.3 (16-2-04) build.

It installed without a hitch.

I had to do some work in windows XP for a bit, so I logged out of knoppix and rebooted.


Then my machine bios hung at detecting hard drive.

I had to clear cmos & leave the machine with the powerlead removed for 30 minutes before I could reboot!

Don't want to have to do this everytime I finish using knoppix!

When I originally booted the knoppix CD i passed the argument DMA - could this cause such a serious problem?
