Hi, I just got Knoppix 3.8.1 and I can't get it to boot. With Knoppix 3.7, I'd just boot into the kernel 2.6. Well now its default 2.6.11 kernel and its giving me the problem i had with 3.7 kernel 2.4. The problem I had and now currently have with 3.8.1 is when I boot (normally, cheatcoded, failsafe, or expert) it displays the penguin, it starts to detect hardware, usb/firewire etc... and then it does a final Autodection.. once that is finished, my computer freezes. No other action happens. I'm currently running and surfing this site with knoppix 3.7 kernel 2.6.9 to make sure that it was working, and it is. Unfortunately Knoppix 3.8.1 isn't

My system specs are as follows:

AMD Athlon 64 3200+
ASUS A8V Deluxe
2x256MB RAM
200GB SATA Hard-drive (on the via controller not the promise one)
ATi Radeon 9600se 128MB
USB Keyboard and Mouse (and I've hooked both back to ps/2 as a test to see if that was the problem)


Please any suggestions, comments, or solutions are greatly welcomed and appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Edit:

And just so I don't get flamed, I have searched the forum and been through many threads.
