Knoppix 6.7.1 DVD hangs when detecting GeForce GTX 550 Ti, ignores Realtek 8111C

Greetings, Shambles, and welcome to the forum.

There are a large number of threads listed under 'geforce' which show up
on the forum search (upper right, next to magnifying glass icon).

Do none of these help?

Not as far as I can tell. I posted the workaround I found myself. The problem seems rather cut and dried. I burned and verified the image with ImgBurn. Further, I also downloaded, and burned, and verified, the earlier version, and got the same results. I'm having a problem with the live DVD. It's not a read/write medium, and I haven't told it to use my hard drive, so it can't be some setting I've messed up. There appears to be some problem with the NVidia driver. Perhaps it's not up to date, or buggy. I know the 296.10 (current) version of the NVidia drivers causes the "magenta screen of death" on Windows XP when used with this card (http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?s...=224948&st=200). I have two cards like this and it happens on both of them, but does not happen on 295.73 (previous version) or earlier. The boot failure only happens with recent versions of Knoppix. I have since found a second workaround. To get the onboard network adapter to appear I have to turn off the "Green LAN" setting in BIOS. This wasn't necessary on my old Mandriva install. It worked so long as there's a cable connecting it to something when booted. I'm currently trying to figure out how to fix what remains of the networking problem. It looks like it may be due to IPv6 support. I need to figure out how to disable that globally.
