knoppix live cd will not boot for me
Both Knoppix 3.2 & 4.0.2 will not boot.
I was checking out what is on these Live CD's, I have heard a lot of good things using Knoppix live CDs to do different task. But they will not boot for me.
HERE ARE SOME OF MY SPECS:
2.80 ghz Intel Pentium 4
emachines t3882

Philips 150P (Monitor)
Audio: Realtek Ac97 Audio
Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connections

I think I can eliminate a bad CD. I burned the 3.2 and 4.0.2 myself, then I purchased a 4.0.2 from Edmunds. It just seems to be the Knoppix Live CDs, all my other live CDs work fine on this computer.
I just tried all three of the Knoppix's on my second computer, which is an Emachines also, but is an older machine and they all booted fine, but that one has a Linksys EtherFast PCI Adapter.
The last line I see in the verbose screen is this and it hangs there:
Network device etho detected, DHCP broadcasting for IP
One thing I did try at the boot prompt was to enter: 'knoppix no dhcp', but that did not make any difference.
I was just checking to see if anyone here may recognize what this problem is and could help me ?

I had the exact same issue running knoppix 3.8.2 on one of my computers and it was the network card. Can't remember the make of it, though. My computer hung at the same place when trying to configure the network. The card was still good, but it just did not work with Knoppix. I am now using that same computer with a different network card and it is ok.

Thank you for your reply Jason W, I thought that was the case but just did not want to go out a buy a new network card unless I had to, now I know I have to, I want to be able to run Knoppix, This is a good reason why: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...1928189,00.asp
