Problem booting from Knoppix CD

[rwcitek]

I am currenty using Knoppix 3.8.1 bootable cd. I have tried the debug command at the boot command and managed to reach the part where they prompt me to press "ctrl D". After autoconfiguring device, the error code appears.

I assume that is true for both the "failsafe" and "knoppix" kernels. If you are able to get to the "ctrl-D" then Knoppix does indeed boot on your machine. However, Knoppix seems to have some issue with some device when probing. The question is, what device?

To figure that out, try booting with the following: boot: knoppix nohwsetup 3 Are you able to get to a shell prompt?
