I just downloaded Knoppix 3.3. When I try to boot it, I get the first boot prompt. I write knoppix.

Next I see vmlinuz and miniroot decompressing/loading
Then I see a "Ready" on the last line and nothing else happens no matter how long I wait.

I have no idea what the problem is. I can run RedHat 9 on this notebook (HP XE3 GF series)

I checked the md5sum of the image I downloaded and its ok. I tried to boot with knoppix testcd but it gives the same result; it doesn't actually test the cd.

Any ideas?
