Hello CW:
No, I have not been able to find the cause of the problem.
I have asked about the problems I have had in a number of posts but to no avail.
I don't know if this is an 'installer problem', a 'SCSI driver problem' or something else related to init-tools or whatever ... 
The thing is that only the first version of the Knoppix CD will boot kernel 2.6, the next two will not. Whatever has changed in the CDs composition, drivers or layout has the clue.
See my posts to get the idea:

Apparently there originally were some posts saying that the installer did not work properly with SCSI installations and these problems do seem (at least to me) something that is related to PCs running SCSI rigs, so mabe it is SCSI driver related.
But I really can't say ...
I'll have to read and investigate the link posted by liquidant and see what gives.
Nevertheless, I see that the post is related to the very first 3.4 version of Knoppix handed out at the C'T expo and not distributed for downloading. It apaprently had some quirks and missing files, most probably due to the fact that it was strictly a LiveCD for evaluation.
All posterior versions surely had the missing files incorporated to the CD as well as quite a few fixes which made it more complete and installable.
Sorry, but I'm afraid that's all I can contribute for the moment.
Cheers and don't give up,
CIV
