Hi Bob:

This is slightly off-topic but it may be helpful. I have an HP Pavilion 
similar to (but not the same as) yours. I can boot from the Knoppix CD 
by using the "acpi=off" cheatcode.

At the boot prompt type:

knoppix acpi=off

...and then press Enter

Good luck and feel free to contact me off-list if you have a question;
