Peter/Bill;

The most likely problem is I failed to build the disk driver module for when I rebuilt the kernel with the web100 patch. If you tell me what module is missing, I can update the ISO image.

The best thing would be to boot a stock Knoppix disk and then run the lsmod command to see what modules are being used. Send me that list and I can compare that to what I have built and get the missing module installed.

Come to think of it, there is a good chance this isn't going to work.
I just cut a 1.9 ISO and may try it on my IBM (until I realized that expecting,
Intel, it isn't going to run on my PPC machine :-)), I will try it on one of
my HPs tonite. There are likely 32/64 bit library issues (we have been bit by
that when hand building) unless either Rich or Knoppix has taken that in to
account.

CD in a genuine Intel laptop and it boots just fine. Does anyone have
any suggestions or can someone confirm that NPT works/does not work on
Athlon? Thanks...
