the host, (RH 9) is also running linux-2.6.11. Vmware is VMware workstation 4.5. The virtual machine boots knoppix-3.7 without problems. If I boot the knoppix 3.8.1 iso image (no changes to the virtual machine config) then the _host_ completely hangs shortly after knoppix logs the detection of AGP.
I have disabled a whole variety of functions: acpi=off, nousb, nopcmcia, noagp ... no difference! complete hangs all the time. Selecting the alternate kernel (linux-2.6.1) yields the same results.
A side remark: I tried to install knoppix 3.8.1 on a different machine using knoppix-installer. That machine was successfully running an installed knoppix 3.7 before. During installation I received tons of error messages, permission denied, files not found, directories not existing.... and... yes, of course I did a "sudo su" before I was running knoppix-installer. The installation somehow finished.. needless to say that the endresult didn't render a bootable system.
