Both Knoppix 3.2 & 4.0.2 will not boot.

I was checking out what is on these Live CD's, I have heard a lot of good things using Knoppix live CDs to do different task. But they will not boot for me.

HERE ARE SOME OF MY SPECS:

I think I can eliminate a bad CD. I burned the 3.2 and 4.0.2 myself, then I purchased a 4.0.2 from Edmunds. It just seems to be the Knoppix Live CDs, all my other live CDs work fine on this computer.

I just tried all three of the Knoppix's on my second computer, which is an Emachines also, but is an older machine and they all booted fine, but that one has a Linksys EtherFast PCI Adapter.

The last line I see in the verbose screen is this and it hangs there:
Network device etho detected, DHCP broadcasting for IP

One thing I did try at the boot prompt was to enter: 'knoppix no dhcp', but that did not make any difference.

I was just checking to see if anyone here may recognize what this problem is and could help me ?
