Hi! I have new notebook and i tried to run knos on it. Notebook is Compaq Presario CQ57-381EM. In the attachment you can see where it stops. How to solve this? Many thanks! Greetings and thanks for giving it a try! It seems to be hanging right after starting the boot sequence when it has reset the hardware and is looking to go into what is called "SATA mode" to read your DVD drive and somehow it's not getting into the correct mode. I trust that you're trying the KNOS 64 bit demo there? That would be the correct version for that machine since yours is a dual-core. I was hoping to find a graphic of the BIOS settings screen for your machine but couldn't find one on HP's site. Chances are the DVD drive (and SATA devices) are in the wrong mode for KNOS 8 - we're working on a new boot regime for KNOS 9 which will be going into its first public release in a week or so once we squash all of the bugs we've found so far and that should go a lot smoother with the newest toys out there. In the meantime, if you feel adventurous and are willing to play with BIOS settings, I'd look for a setting for SATA in there and see if the non-default setting solves it for now. In other words, if it's set for something like "legacy mode" now, turn that off and try it in the opposite mode - probably will work fine. If it's NOT in "legacy mode" then try that instead. Either way shouldn't affect Windows in any way but might make the difference. If that doesn't do the trick or you're feeling a bit antsy about trying it, keep an eye out here in about a week or so for the announcement of the release of our beta for 9 and get in touch with us and we'll point you to that. Sorry for the headache - it's getting through the first two pieces of bootup and failing on the last one because apparently BIOS isn't letting it see the drive when it goes into "real mode" to talk to it. I'll bet it's just a BIOS setting holding things back. |

Hi, I tried both 32 and 64 bit knos demo but with no success. This machine have insyde bios and there is not much settings to explore. I hope next knos beta will run ok. Sorry to say, their technicals on their site were extremely vague as to what could be gotten to in their BIOS. We're finishing up code for our 9 beta. I'd like to hope it'll be out next week, but we're still finding little things that we'd rather fix first. Won't be much longer and the new 9 code can deal with "EFI bios" ... HP/Compaq has been doing some squirrely things lately so we'll be quite keen on getting a copy into your hands to try out if you're willing. Keep an eye peeled here, be happy to hook you up as soon as we have it out. |
