I have installed knoppix 3.3 and then upgraded to the 2.6.4 debian kernel. I am installing on a dell 8600 laptop. The original knoppix install went great and most everything worked including sound, network, usb mouse. Originally I was having problems with a funky lilo setup but stephen helped me out on that and now I am booting the 2.6 ok. When I boot the 2.6 kernel only some things work though. Network works, my usb mouse doesn't work but my touchpad does. Sound doesn't work, my ati raedon video card don't work. My best guess is that certain modules are not being loaded like the sound and usb. However network does work and it is compiled as a module. I did reinstall and reconfigure modules-init-tools but that didn't help.
Some of my usbmodules are loading but not all like usb-uhci is missing and it is definitely compiled in the kernel as a module. Also my i810_audio is missing as well.
Check out the output of my lsmod:
