I'm trying to run Knoppix on an old emachine but it keeps hanging at the same point in the startup. I have to unplug/plugin the machine to get it to reboot. Here's what its spitting out:

Welcome to the KNOPPIX live Linux-on-CD!

Scanning for USB/Firewire devices... Done.

Starting init process.
INIT: version 2.78-knoppix booting
Running LInux kernal 2.4.26

This is where it hangs up.. the cursor stops blinking and i cant do anything. The cd works fine on all my other computers. Any ideas? Thx
