Hi. First. let me say this is not the first time I have installed Knoppix to HD. I was reading other posts which had similar error messages, but mine is spitting out a little different kinds. Noticeably these:
Code:

Any clues as to what all this means? I am using a freshly formatted HD, that had a good HD installed version of Knoppix 3.4 on it before the format. I even went to the extent of reformatting the drive and installing using the knoppix-installer-latest-web script, but it gives the same errors.

If I need to post system specs, ect--lemme know!

(EDIT)
Oh yeah...I was using the linux26 "cheat code" if that matters.
