maybe cause it's brand new.

at the begining when i first boot off of it it loads to the boot:

no matter what i type it tries to go through some sort of loading thing then at the end of every line it says

"end_request: I/O error, dev f0:00 (cloop) sector #######"

then it says
"Done.
Starting init process.
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel."

then leaves me with a cursor but i can't type anything.

what the H bomb?

also at the very begining before it does the above it says

caution: ATI radeon IGP northbridge chipset is not yet fully tested

this is knoppix 3.2 release 2003-07-26-beta

update: it says free memory =0kb as well.

think since it doesn't know how to use my northbridge that it can't get to my memory?
