I need help installing Knoppix 3.8

Hi,
When I try to install Knoppix on my computer, the following message appears:

ACPI: BIOS age (2001) fails cutoff (2002), acpi=force is required to enable ACPI audit(1121268840.12

: initialized

I want to know what the problem is, and what can I do to fix it.

Thanks for the help.

Knoppix doesn't want to use acpi. To force Knoppix to use acpi, boot with boot: knoppix acpi=force

Good luck and let us know how things go.
