I have completed a hd install of Knoppix KDE 3.1 (so I thought) but on rebooting my machine I am confronted with L 99 99 99 99 99 ... and so on for about a third of the screen right after it has mentioned "Veryifying DMI Pool Data".

I havn't seen this before and I'm wondering 1. Why is it there, and 2. How do I rectify the situation.

Thanks heaps.
