Yup, it seems real wrong to me also. You don't give us much to go on. Does the system BSOD when you are not trying to boot Knoppix also? I can't imagine how it could not based on what you have said, but if it did I would expect you to have made that clear. As to the CD not booting, again without any details it's hard to know what is happening, but my first guess would be that the CD was not made properly. See answer #2 for details.
