The "knoppix nodma" on the boot line did the trick. Up to the point that my monitor does not support the video settings of the CD. Thanks for the tip.

Patience is one thing, but at some point it turns into pathetic. You crossed that line with about 11 hours and 55 minutes to spare. Someone here http://knoppix.net/forum/threads/26153-Knoppix-bootup-stop-at-Enabling-DMA-a cceleration...-qu suggests at the boot prompt type "knoppix nodma" Can't hurt to try that. Could be an issue that Knoppix is aware of they're doing that they have a ready made fix for. I've no practical experience with it myself though. I never ran Knoppix. ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
