Synaptic- ReloadInfo- ErrorMessage

[Karibu]

I'm having a difficulty with runlevel 2:
Boot sequence hangs for ever--see screenshot

PS.:
These are the first two lines of my syslinux.cfg file

# Edit Mar 29, 2012: DEFAULT (line 1) from adriane to knoppix nomodeset
DEFAULT knoppix 2 nomodeset
APPEND ramdisk_size=100000 lang=en vt.default_utf8=0 apm=power-off initrd=minirt.gz nomce libata.force=noncq hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1 loglevel=1 tz=localtime
TIMEOUT 100

If I place "nomodeset" at the end of the line APPEND the graphics won't start at all (black monitor screen)
