My problem was solved by re-burning a new image at a much slower speed.
Just burned Knoppix 4.0.2 image to CD.....
Receiving the following during bootup:
"hwsetp: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libpci.so.2: cannot read file data: Input/Output error"
Then the system continues and hangs at:
"Scanning for HardDisk partitions and creating /etc/fstab"
Booting on a MPC Tansport 1000 Laptop.
HELP
Thanks
Carl
