Sorry, the codes I gave you are what worked for me. But I was lucky to come across the right combination of cheat codes, and it took me about 6 months to find the information. I know of no good way to figure out what combination of cheat codes you need to get Knoppix running on any particular computer (assuming that is even the issue).

As to reverting back to a previous version: I would be rather surprised if 3.6 or 3.4 would change things, but you could try. I'm not sure where Knoppix got more agressive and troublesome about booting, I think it was 3.3 but it might have been 3.4. Prior to that change a lot more systems would boot with no cheat codes. So if you could get a copy old enough (3.2 or 3.1), then it would be worth a shot and if it is a cheat code issue then I would expect it would help (but you'll likely still want to resolve things and get a more current system). In any case, you might get extra clues about the problem by trying a different version. And if 3.1 or 3.2 don't boot then I would think that cheat codes might not be the right track (although there's still a chance the right cheat codes could convince it to boot).
