hi, when i try to boot knoppix i would always get this error right after my hardware has been detected:

exec/lib/udev/udev_run_hotplugd failed

i have tested the cd, it says "all seems ok"
checked md5sum on my xp sys before buring the iso, no problems
so it cannot be a defect with the disc right?

is it because of my hardware?
when i trued ubuntu it also gave an error when booting "page fault"
and i also always get bsod "page fault in non paged area" or "irql not less or equal" when shutting down xp

well most pages i have found say its the memory which is wrecking havoc..i use 2x512mb pc2100 ram...
