System halts after loading miniroot.gz

[thanos]

Knoppix cannot boot, not even in failsafe mode. In normal mode, screen goes black
after "Loading miniroot.gz.....".

In failsafe, the last 3 messages are

>SMP motherboard not detected
>enabled ExtINT on CPU#0
>ESR value before enabling vector: 00000002

Any ideas? I 've got a Soltek SL-75FRV motherboard,
the lspci -v output is:
