Do you get to the Knoppix Splash Screen, or does it halt before then? At what point does it give these error messages? If you do indeed get to the Knoppix splash screen, then you might want to experiment with "Cheat Codes" at the "boot:_" prompt. Look here for information: http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Cheat_Codes . You might wish to try "knoppix dma" or others like failsafe, etc. If it is indeed a bios issue, I have not encountered any with Award bios yet, but I can not recall the versions of the bios' on the systems that I have used since they were not an issue.

Something else that can give trouble is an improperly burned disk or a corrupt iso. An MD5Sum test takes only a few minutes and can verify the iso. Look at the following link for information regarding downloading and making the disk: http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Downloading_FAQm Pay particular attention to the part about burning the disk SLOWLY! It DOES make a difference and if you burned your disks ata higher speed, then start over and follow the recommendations.

Not knowing much else about your hardware leaves me little more to go on.

Lets us know how you make out! Good Luck!
