Welcome to the Linux Foundation Forum!
Knoppix 6.2 doesn't complete the load process.
in Installation
I've tried re-burning multiple times using different burners and programs. It goes to the boot screen, I hit enter. It decompresses the system files and then goes to blank screen. I've tried the suggestions listed in the cheatcodes wiki but no luck. Any ideas on how I can get it going?
Thanks

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Here are a couple of recommendations:
1. when the screen goes black hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart the gui, if it cannot restart then it should show an error message stating the reason.
2. Have you been verifiying the md5sums of the ISOs after they are downloaded and have you verified the disks after they were burned? In both the downloading and burning processes the data can become corrupt you must check both.
I will download and test knoppix 6.2 this evening to try to find the boot option you need, hopefully you will find it before me.
To change the way it boots has to be done on the boot menu. The only other screen I see (and thats using failsafe) is the screenshot on the previous page. The faster computer makes it to the gui before it shuts down but when I run it in failsafe, it gives the "can not mount to disk" error.. I've tried tweaking the settings in the bios to get it to work but nothing I've tried gets me any further along." failsafe debug -b" is supposed to put in in "emergency mode" where it is suppose to give me a terminal promt with no hardware detection. I can't make it to this point. How do I force it to look at a specific location for the kernel file and what would the location for the cdrom be?
Thanks again for taking time to help. You were the only one on 4 different forums that even posted. Where'd everyone go??
boot: knoppix screen=1920x1080 etc for the boot process to complete. knoppix has to invoke the video adapter software from the packed on CD/DVD software.
