Hello!

I am having problems booting up my new KNOPPIX v5.01/5.0.1 burned CD. I get all the way to the part where it will start X (it did detect my old ATI Radeon 9700 card), but it hangs in blackness. Pressing num lock, cap lock, and scroll lock did not change the light status. Ctrl-Alt-F1 failed as well. I have to hard reset to reboot. So I am going to assume my computer locked up here.

I also tried running KNOPPIX in VMware v4.5.1 (Windows 2000 SP4 guest image; NTFS) in Windows XP Pro. SP2 (all updates), but it freezes at udev hardware detection. I don't know if this is related to why I can't boot from the real machine (ASUS K8V SE Deluxe; Athlon 64 3200+ (754 CPU), etc.).

CD should be fine since I was able to boot up without problems on my Dell Dimension 8250 machine. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.
