Hi,
When I try to boot up Fedora Core 3 on my PC, it hands during
the boot. I received a suggestion that I boot up with Knoppix
to help resolve driver problems. This worked ok and I now
have Knoppix running on the PC. I would now like to go back
and resolve the Fedora Core 3 issues, but I'm not sure what
to do next. It looks like there are driver issues, but I'm
not sure which driver is causing the problem, nor how to
load the correct driver since the machine is hanging at
boot time.
For background information, relevant information from
my previous posts follow.

Hi,
Since my last post on this subject I have done the following:
Taken out the PCI ethernet card on my PC. When I
rebooted knoppix 3.7, I was able to get my ethernet
port working. So that probelm is taken care of.
Thank you, Mark South!!
I tried booting in expert mode as was recommended with
the purpose of turning on drivers one by one. I'm
not sure what this means. In expert mode, there were
a number or prompts asking if I wanted to configure
the keyboard, mouse, etc. I answered 'n' to all
the prompts and the PC came up fine. I'm not sure
what if anything I learn from this that will help
me resolve my Fedora Core 3 problems.

So the hardware is mostly OK. Good sign.

Hmm. Every time I've run Knoppix (or Morphix or Damn Small) on a machine
with a working Ethernet connection to a cable or DSL modem, I have been
able to open a browser and go straight to the site of my choice.
What happens if you pull the PCI card and run Knoppix? Or could you
disable the onboard card through the BIOS?

As I said last time, try booting Knoppix in expert mode and turning on
drivers one by one. Something inside your machine is conflicting with
something else.
Don't give up and hit it with a hammer until we tell you to, OK?
