APM is the only thing i get to work stable, but then pcmcia wont work instead? :S Can it be the kernel that Knoppix uses? Because since i don't have an hdd in it yet it's hard to use something else. :P
And then to another question, i use a bluetooth adapter for networking on it now, is it possible to do something so i can boot over network? say like mounting and hdd in another computer and running from it? Then maybe i could try fixing with the kernel..
I don't use knoppix that much myself, but you can choose between a 2.4 kernel (knoppix) and a 2.6 kernel (knoppix26). The most recent version of knoppix uses the 2.6.11 kernel by default, older versions use a 2.4 kernel by default. Have you tried booting both kernel versions?
I'm afraid I don't have much experience with network booting, maybe someone else knows, but doing it over bluetooth sounds fairly complicated to me.
