"I get that same error and fixed it by adding cheat code:

Code: knoppix vga=normal " (posted by johnb)

Thanks! That has also worked on my prblematic wee laptop (Pentium 166, Texas Instruments TravelMate 6160).

Currently I can boot the laptop, with this switch:

Code: knoppix vga=normal nopcmcia nousb noapm

The pcmcia card manager has a version problem, and there are no usb ports. Advanced power management is causing the real problem.

Now, however, the text in the menus, when it all finally loads, is pale (yellow?) on white, and I can't read them: I'm going to look in other postings for a solution!
