I downloaded Knoppix 4.0.2 and burned to disc. My bios is set correctly to boot from CD and when it boots up it gets stuck on Looking for cd in: /dev/hda. I tried downloading again and burning to new disc and same problem. Any help would be great!

this cheat worked for me. at the boot: prompt, type "knoppix noapic", without the quotes. good luck.
