    knopix 3.7 boot problem: error -3 uncompressing block...

    hi!
    I'm new whith knoppix and I'm a bit helplessly whith my new cd...
    yesterday I've loaded the .iso of knopix 3.7, and I burned it with nero.

    the machine (celeron 400mhz, 256mb ram, 40 + 10 gig ide hdd) boots from cdrom,but after the message "Setting paths..." there are 22 messages

    "cloop: error -3 uncompressing block 1658 65536/0/25369/0 25313071-25338440"
    (but NO message about any read errors!!!!)

    and between them there are 10 messages with I/O-errors(like /linuxrc: /knoppix/bin/rm: I/O error).

    and, verry strangely, about in the middle of them is the message:

    awk: not found
    awk: not found
    Total memory found: kB

    the last message is

    FAT: bogus logical sector size 12288
    kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:03

    my hard disks and the cdromdrive where recognized correctly

    I tried to boot with "knoppix mem=256M"and tried the same on my notebook, but there was no change.

    Does this mean that my memory is not found by knoppix or is just the image defective?

    I searched in all faqs and all forums I could find but I found nothing to this topic.

    I wouldbe glad about any tip I get...
