Help! blank screen on install v3.3

I am a newbie to Knoppix having tried out Red Hat previously and failed dismally to get it to network with my XP machine so I am trying out Knoppix.
I have downloaded 3 different ISO and run chksum so they are all OK but everyone without fail wont boot at all. On one machine I have I get a load of panic messages and then it locks up and on the other machine I hit boot.. and just get a blank screen with nothing happening at all.

Can anyone offer help to someone who wants to try linnux but is being foiled at every attempt.

I had the same problem until I tried one of the cheat codes. When you see the boot screen look for the help (F2) Then try one of them. I was advised by ( richenbacherus ) to use failsafe , I also have had luck with using boot: knoppix noagp . I hope this helps, now I need to have knoppix see my network interface on my motherboard. Once that is solved I can go online and use Mozzilla.


take care, john
