I'm booting the 4.02-dvd version. At the begining of the boot sequence there is a message that says Found Primary knoppix image at /cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX.ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Bad file descriptor.

Boot continues and no further errors happen but when GUI comes up it hangs on the "Initializing System Services". I can boot to Level 2 and everything "seems" OK. I tried booting the testcd option and it just hangs in the same place. Hardware is listed below.

IBM T40 laptop
80 GB HD
2GB Ram
1.5 GHz Centrino

Thanks in advance

Usually errors like that indicate that the CD/DVD was burned too fast or used poor quality media or the drive is too sensitive to data errors. See http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Downloading_FAQ for tips & tricks on burning a CD/DVD.
