hi! i'm booting from the cd knoppix_v3.9-2005-05-27-EN and keep getting a blank screen whenever it's trying to load linux. after just pressing enter from the boot: prompt, i get the following message:

Loading linux .............................
loading minirt.gz .........

then the screen goes blank, like it's in some hanged state.

i've tried several cheatcodes, but it didn't help. can anyone give any suggestions what cheatcodes i should try to fix this problem? thanks.

my system:
compaq presario with XP
Celeron(R) cpu 2.70 GHZ
Intel(R) Extreme Graphics
