I have been trying to get Knoppix to run on my HP Pavilion N3202.

It seems to detect everything correctly, and gets to the point where it starts x-windows and it stops with a black screen. The kyboard is unresponsive and the cd-rom must stil be mounted because it won't eject

Here is a short hardware list
64mb ram
500mhz Celeron (deteced as 382mhz)
8 gb harddrive
24x cd-rom
Silicon Motion LynxEM video
ESS Maestro PCI Audio
Linksys Wireless LAN card

Once again, I see Knoppix corretcly identify and load drivers for all these items.
