Re "unless I start an X session": There may be troubles with console mode in 6.X, something about graphics initialization. Have you tried starting Knoppix from external media, simply with the cheatcode 2 http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/knoppix/knoppix-cheatcodes.txt: knoppix 2, and got that working well?
