I could not resist trying Knoppix on my son’s new PC. I could not get it to boot. It would hang with the last thing printed on the screen probing aic7xxx.o. After a little research I found that the noscsi cheatcode worked. Something was funky with the 2.4 kernel version. It had trouble setting up the network with DHCP. When I tried the 2.6 kernel and everything worked fine.
