Actually, there is. I was thinking Award; It's slightly different under AMI.

Got to the BIOS PCI / Plug and Play menu -- all three items need changing from the default:

Set PnP OS = NO (not needed for Windows either, despite the manual).

Set Primary Graphics Adapter = AGP.

Set Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA = NO.

These changes are needed anyway, so they can't hurt. I have used Knoppix with great success on this MB. Good luck!
