There's the problem- IRQ conflict. It's trying to use the IRQ router to share IRQ's BUT the very IRQ sharing device can't get an IRQ itself!! What a dillemma! Sorry I didn't spot it earlier- was getting the short people off to school! See if you can hard assign IRQ's to the offending devices in your BIOS. I have never seen a cheat code like this (at least not for Knoppix) but perhaps it is somehow possible to tell the kernal to use the BIOS irq's on boot.
