    Unable to boot 3.8.1

    Hi I'm a newbie to linux and knoppix.
    I downloaded knoppix 3.8.1 and burned it to a cd. However when I try booting it, it freezes.

    When I start up computer (bios is set to boot from cd) the Knoppix 3.8.1 screen appears.
    I press [Enter] next to the word 'Boot:'
    it goes:
    Loading linux24...
    Loading minirt24.gz...
    Loading...

    Then the pc will hang and I have to press the reboot button.
    Anyone have any idea what the problem is? or what i should do?


    PC Stats:
    Pentium IV Northwood 2.66
    256MB RAM
    Video Memory 128MB Ge-Force FX 5200
    Mobo Asrock P4AL-8X
    Hardrive no1: 80GB
    Hardrive no2: 120GB
    DVDWriter Lite-On SOHW-1653S

    any help much appreciated

    From what you posted, you at least used the right tools to burn the CD, although you didn't say if you checked the md5 sum (an important step if you got the file from a mirror, not so important if by Bittorrent). It sounds similar to this problem: Boots on 1 PC but not on the other ???
