Q: My computer won't boot from CD. What should I do?
A: Look in your computer's BIOS to see whether it's set to boot from CD
(on most computers you need to push the "delete" key during the RAM test).
If this is already set, your computer may not be able to read the CD (some
notebooks have problems with black-coated CD's, for example). Some
computers will only use the new BIOS settings after a hard reset. If your
computer doesn't support booting from CD, you can create a boot floppy
using the "rawrite" program in the "KNOPPIX" directory on the CD.
Q: Auto configuration doesn't work on my computer, or the computer hangs
at boot. What should I do?
A: It might work if portions of the auto configuration are skipped. This
can be specified with "knoppix noscsi" or "knoppix nopcmcia". If the
problem can be identified -> please send the exact error message and when
possible a proposed solution using the web form at
http://www.knopper.net/kontakt/! Sometimes the output of
"lspci ; lspci -n" is very helpful, especially if the problem involves
incorrectly identified graphics cards.
Q: My graphics card doesn't work!
A: It may be that very new (or exotic) graphics cards are not in the
hardware database yet. These will still usually work under Linux! You can
type
knoppix xmodule=vesa
or
knoppix xmodule=fbdev
at the first boot screen, and the initial un-accelerated XFree86 modes
will produce a usable screen. Version 31-01-2002 and later have a frame
buffer boot option (especially for older notebooks)
fb800x600
(instead of typing in knoppix), which uses a resolution of 800x600 pixels
in frame buffer mode. Regardless of whether these workarounds are
successful or not, support can be built into the next version of KNOPPIX
more quickly if (as in the previous question) the PCI numbers of the
graphics card along with a description can be sent to us via mail
("lspci ; lspci -n").
