This is still an issue with Knoppix 3.6-2004-08-16 on Toshiba laptop. Even tried 2.6 Kernel.

It boots fine with default startup but no Hard Drives. hda: unknown partition table still displays.

I am still trying to get the 2003-06-06 version downloaded,

Using NODMA NOSCSI bootup options stalls the boot totally at "creating /etc/fstab"

Anyone found a workaround with the later versions of Knoppix for Toshiba Laptops?
