Hi there, I'm experiencing troubles when booting from a CD with Knoppix v5.1 on my laptop. I'd like to know if anyone might know what's going on.
I burnt the Live CD recently and tried to boot from it. I get to the Knoppix boot prompt screen (where it says press enter to boot, or f2 or f3 for boot options), but when I press enter, it goes to a black screen and does not change or load. BIOS has been configured to boot from CD and all that Jazz.

I'm confident that nothing is wrong with the CD, because I successfully booted from a school computer and used Knoppix. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my hardware. My laptop is:

Sager NP9262
Intel Core 2 Q6600
nVidia Geforce 8700M GT (two in SLI)
4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz - 2 X 2048MB


I'm not sure what information would be useful, so just ask for it and I'll pull it up. A technician friend of mine is convinced that it's the SLI causing the problem.

I'd like this problem resolved soon, so please respond.

Thanks,
MonsieurChortles
