This sounds like a classic case of a bad burn. If the ISO's md5sum checks OK, then my guess would be the CD was burnt a bit too fast. Try burning at a slower speed, < 8x if possible.

Also, booting is a rather long process. Can you be a bit more specific about where "in the middle" is? Specifically, if you boot with boot: knoppix debug -b 3 Knoppix will go through a series of stages, as depicted in this series of screenshots. What is the last successful stage that Knoppix enters?
