Hang at "Creating devices..." in 3.3

[JustMike]

As in the subject... the same thing has happened on the following machines when booting from the CD:

- ASUS A7A266 (ALi chipset), T-Bird 1.2, 512MB, Promise UltraTX100-2 card, ATI ALL-IN-WONDER 7500, Intel 10/100 PCI, ASUS DVD-ROM (boot) and Sony 24x CD-RW

- Soltek SL-75FRN2 (Nvidia nForce2), XP 2400, 512MB, Promise UltraTX100-2 card, ATI ALL-IN-WONDER 7500, Intel 10/100 PCI, ASUS DVD-ROM (boot) and Sony 24x CD-RW

Knoppix 3.2 worked flawlessly (aside from the on-board network) on the second machine, but hung at the same place as 3.3.

I am not a Linux newbie, but am a Knoppix newbie. I can provide any information that might be useful. (I am typing this on RH9 on the second machine)

Are there any particular "cheatcodes" that might be applicable here?
