At work we are having similar issues but more extreme with a Dell Latitude L400 and an external CD-ROM drive. Knoppix won't boot, nor will some Windows CDs. However, if we go into the BIOS, select "restore factory defaults", make the CD-ROM the first boot device, and then reboot, everything works ... for a little while, sometimes. Our suspicions are that this is a hardware problem: the BIOS version, the CMOS battery, the mobo, the CD-ROM, the CD-ROM cable, or something we haven't thought of.
In short, your problem sounds similar to ours, which means that I suspect faulty hardware.
BTW, you did burn the ISO as an image and not as a file, correct? See: http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Download...o_be_burned.3F
