ok, So I just brunt this iso. And I got in booting and it gets to the little penguin and says pci not initialising and failure of internal kernal.

what gives? Did I get a bad version? I wanted 3.6 but I could not find it on their crap slow site.

i cant rememeber what version i have but did you verify the download with the md5?

 

[DARQ MX]

no, How do I do that?

Are you in Windows right now? Check out MD5summer, its a nice little program (with a gui) that checks the md5 hash. Then just go to the CD drive where the disc is and inside should be some sort of text file that should say something like md5. Just open that and it'll check.

 

[DARQ MX]

yea, I am in windows right now...

 

[DARQ MX]

Umm, k, I see an MD5sum file in there.

 

[DARQ MX]

ok, I am sorry, but I don't get this program and how to use it, I am a linux n00b. I Dl-ed the program and it says to check the sum of a folder. And that is about it.

ok when you downloaded knoppix you should of downloaded the iso and a .md5 file and also download this program http://www.toast442.org/md5/. Once you have the program all u do is is drag the .md5 file into the program, window and it should display a green dot meaning both files are correct and then burn the iso. If its red that means the download is partial and you have to redownload it.

I would guess that the mobo and/or graphics card is too new for the Knoppix release you are using. You need the latest release (currently 4.0.2).

ok so which one do I DL? This one that shawn put up? http://www.toast442.org/md5/. OR the one that MD5summer, that sleep.

 

[shawn130c]

they both do the same thing you choose which one to use, the link i gave you i got from the read me info for knoppix.

 

[DARQ MX]

ok, cool, man, I should just try to burn this from work, lol. They have this os running on a year and a half old P4 3.0 and it has version 3.6

I had a problem with my Celeron 433 one time. I resolved it by avoiding certain hardware probes. When you boot Knoppix, it gives you the option of viewing various menus of options before continuing.

If I remember correctly, I resolved it by avoiding the SCSI hardware probes. (The machine never had SCSI devices anyway.)
