Auditor live CD hangs on boot

[Bruskey]

Hey guys

I have the audtior live bootable cd. I am using an HP dv9260 laptop. Whenenever i try to boot it gets to the stage that says: INIT: version 2.78-knoppix booting and it just hangs. If i choose the fail-save option though it boots ok but. Is there any boot options that i could try to make it boot up. Ive tried a few without much luck.

Thanks
Andrew
