Well, actually 3.7 defaults to the 2.4 kernel, but if that works then it would be worth trying the knoppix26 cheat code to see if that boots or not. 3.7 does have a 2.6 kernel, just not the default kernel. Another key difference is that 3.7 has DMA on by default, so many people needed to use the nodma cheat code with 3.7 (knoppix nodma at the prompt). And in my own case I needed 2 cheat codes on my HP notebook with 3.7 but none at all with 3.8. I needed to boot with knoppix noscsi acpi=off cheat codes. So 3.7 may have it's own issues, but I'm just out of things to suggest for 3.8.x.
