Knoppix DVD(4.0.2) won't boot new (less than 30 days old) Toshiba Satellite M60?

I have the above DVD - (from Linux-Central) - when, (in the boot-messages)
it gets to "PCMCIA found, starting cardmgr" - it 'hangs' -

did this (also) on previous CD-ROM (Knoppix 3.7)

works fine (both 4.0.2 DVD and 3.7 CD) on older Toshiba Satellite
1415 (3 plus years old)

let me ([email protected]) know if you know about this issue, and/or
can 'point me to' some other resource, or can help?

THANKX!!!! - bill
