hello all
i have an asus pb5 deluxe board,
i have absolutely no clue what is happening here but this is the problem:
any linux-based CD boot system is not working (knoppix mainly, then i tried some other linux-based bootable cds, like rescue disks and some other linux system)
the system actually boots off the cdrom, but then in the loading file process i get some error about not being able to load the kernel or something of that sort (i will post exact knoppix error in a bit)

ironically, when i put in my windows setup cd (and some other windows based bootable disks), they boot just fine

the boot order and all thta is correct and the boot process from the cd/dvd starts properly, but on the linux based systems, in the first inital stage, starts loading the files then fails
any clues??
