You might need to add irqpoll to 'APPEND' parameter during bootup.

or just type bt irqpoll

IIRC

Backtrack 3 is SO OLD that it might not even boot on new hardware

The CURRENT version is Backtrack 5

also backtrack WAS NEVER meant to be used by an inexperienced user

it ASSUMES that you know networks inside and out ( that you HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE )
you dream of NETWORKS and testing there security

it was designed FOR CRACKING into networks ( ones that YOU have a legal right to)

please see the backtrack website

and the ABOUT

Yes you are correct but I used the same Laptop (old DELL Inspiron 1501) which 6 month ago I have no problem running this BT 3. But recently my screen blue problem then I did the reinstall back the windows XP. This the history of my computer which maybe contribute to the problem...pls help

Just type 'irqpoll' on Backtrack menu. When menu comes up, highlight a menu and then press TAB to enter editing mode. Put 'irqpoll' on 'APPEND' line. You will see other lines there.

Or just type 'bt irqpoll', on booting prompt.
