This question isn't strictly security but I figure this is probably the best place to put it. I've just recently got round to d/l the latest version of Knoppix STD - just to play around with and cos I'd like to have a look at it. Anyway everything seemed to go ok with the d/l and I have burned it to disk (using Nero 5.5.5.9)... upon rebooting the usual boot up stuff appears until we get to hard drake checking for hardware then I get the following message

INIT PANIC: segmentation violation at 0x804e21d! sleeping for 30 sec

and the rest of the boot up hangs. I've had a look around google and there are a number of people asking about this - but seemingly no answers (unless I've missed them)

An example of what thread I'm finding are like this

Oh... and the system is an AthlonXP1800, two HD (60 and 40GB), 1.25GB RAM (yeah I know it's excessive), NVidia Gforce, curently only running XP - and normal versions of knoppix (3.1, 3.2) run just fine on it

Myself I'm thinking that either Knoppix STD is having problems with one of the memory buffers in my RAM.... or the d/l went screwy somewhere... anyone else got any experience and or pointers as to the problem?

cheers all
