Thanks for the response. Ok I am using knoppix 3.7 and my keyboard is Saitek Gamer's Keyboard with a ps/2 adapter. My computer is custom built and has no problems on windows xp sp2. I have no other keyboards to try with so I don't know if it will work. The error I am getting when it is probing SCSI is


"Probing SCSI...aic7xxx.0"

then it just freezes. Since my keyboard will not type anything in at the boot screen I cannot input any commands to attempt to get around it. Also I wrote the cd at the slow speed of 8x and also verified my files after it was done burning. I tried this on another comp and it starts up fine except once it gets in the screen is all messed up, flickering a yellow color, and everything is overlapping and reflecting.
