Hi everybody,

I have some problems with knoppmyth installation : at first, just after launching vmlinuz in standard mode, it send an "error : only one processor found" message...
so i try the safe mode and it works...but when i rebooted, it starts until an "hda: lost interrupt" error message...and knoppmyth did not starts

any ideas ???

mumpsvms

PS : excuse-me for my so poor english...

The kernel is compiled for SMP, you can ignore the "only one CPU found".

ok but the problem is that it only install in failsafe mode...I don't if the installation is ok after (and it seems not because it didn't boot correctly)

what is failsafe mode?

at install,if you type F2 to have help, you will have options like
- knoppmyth no{pcmcia|apic}
- failsafe
etc...

have you tried using the noscsi option? that is generally the problem if it won't load. If you absolutely have to use the failsafe mode it is quite likely that some of your hardware is not supported and won't work. Maybe you should give us a hardware rundown.

here is my hardware :
Asrock K7S8X R3.0
AMD Duron 1.6 Ghz
256 Mo RAM
GeForce 4 MX 440 8x 64 Mo TV Out
Leadtek - Winfast TV 2000 XP Expert
old maxtor harddisk (10Go)
old dvd player

I have to mention that I built it myself...it may be a problem...but I don't think so...

problem solved !!!
I had to put a "noapic acpi=off" option in the boot command in lilo.conf
But since i can't boot, it was a little bit difficult...with the installation cd it was ok !!! Now I have a black screen after booting...but there are some topics about that !

Thanks

Define "black screen". If you mean black screen while trying to watch TV, then yes various threads have been written about this.

Actually, after knoppmyth booting, I just have a black screen without any graphic interface. When I press "ctrl-alt-f1", I got text mode with login invit. But I didn't "install-nvidia.sh" already. I think I have to do this before anything else.
