I have an old Dell Dimension XPS T-500 which I want to try out MythTV and I am not making much progress. When the system boots, it hangs when it gets to the point where it is "accessing cdrom /dev/hdc." The regular knoppix cd's boot fine, on some of the older ones, like more than 2 years old it would try to access /dev/sda1 and not work, but a "knoppix atapicd" took care of that and it would access the correct hdc device. I tried the failsafe and knoppmyth atapicd as well as knoppmyth noscsi with the last 2 releases of KnoppMyth and it hangs at the same point every time. Note I tried the noscsi because it loaded a couple of scsi modules (Buslogic and something) and this old system doesn't have any scsi. And I don't recall any of the knoppix cd's having any scsi detection issues with this box. At this point I am probably just going to install ubuntu, but I wanted to try KnoppMyth first and copy some of the configs it sets up. Any suggestions? Thanks, Chuck |

Try using the "expert" option. I've run into problems where the autodetect of SCSI devices causes hangs. When you use expert mode it lets you say "none" and avoid this. |

I tried that before too, and tried it again. Still not working. Thanks, Chuck |

I am having the same issue. My cdrom stops responding when it gets to the part where its going to start copying files. I am using a dell gx150. Anyone out there with a solution? |

Hi, I am having a similar problem with a Dell Optiplex GX250 with a new installation. It boots from the CD, and after running some detection stuff complains that "Can't find Knoppix Filesystem, Sorry". It then drops me into a limited shell. Has anyone gotten an earlier version to work? Victor |

Most likely a bad burn or bad media. |

Thanks for the quick response! After I posted, on a lark, I changed the CD-ROM that was installed in the PC to a new DVD-R that I had just purchased, and voila! it worked flawlessly. No, if I could only get my Hauppage Nexus-S working 
Thanks to everyone's hard work on this. Victor |
