Folks,

I have had the same problem and burned new CDs and CDRWs on different machines with no success. The original CD I was using had worked flawlessly for several months. Then today I successfully mounted a network share on a Windows 2000 server and was about to use gparted to create an image of my notebook drive. I could not quickly find how to unmount the share so I shutdown and rebooted to mount the share on another location in Knoppix but my CD would not boot again and exhibited the same symptoms and messages that several of you are having.

I even downloaded Knoppix again, checked the signatures, burned another CD, tested it, then tried to reboot with the same results. Suffice it to say that all Knoppix CDs boot fine on other machines but never again on my notebook. Other CDs will boot fine on the same notebook, just not the Knoppix CD (version 5.1.1 build date January 7, 2007.

If anyone finds way around this, please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you in advance!

Jorge
