tried failsafe and expert?
tried testcd ?
In rare cases, linux won't work with your processor / mb. If nothing else works, try downloading something like the debian install CD ( 30 mb ) and see if that boots. It may be a bug in the way the kernel is configured.
Is your cpu overclocked? Check in the bios, if you have plug&play OS turn it off. If you have an OS selection, change it to UNIX ( newer MB's ).

I tried this:
tried failsafe and expert.
got a black screen with lots of writing,
but I did notice "SMP motherboard not dected" 2 lines from the bottom
the screen then froze, no keys worked, and I had to reset.
in bios, I changed Plug and Play aware o/s to 'no'
same result
reading the motherboard manual:
my motherboard is a pc ddr266 systemboard m825 series
has a km266chipset that supports 4x AGP slot, 100/133 MHz DDR/SDR
The mainboard has the built-in AC97 Codec, and CNR slot and a built-in 10BaseT/100BaseTX Network interface
Has the 128-bit 2D/3D AGP graphics accelerator with 32mb frame buffer, suppoorting AGP 4X 266MHz mode up to 1GB/s bandwidth.
hope this helps
thanks for all the assistance

Did you boot:
knoppix nosmp
Have you disabled IRQ sharing in the BIOS?
Do you have another monitor to try out?

Are you sure this is not a problem withyour cd? Could be the cd drive or the cd missreading? Have you tried another monitor, or video card?
Good luck. Jimmy
