knoppix boot stopped


Does anyone know what these lines mean......

looking for CDROM in

\scs\dev\

These are the last two line that appear after my knoppix boot stops. I'm trying to boot my bootable disk I made from the image but I just can't seem to get it working.

md5 checked ok
bios setup to boot from cdrom 1st

Could it be I downloaded a bad file? I downloaded the same file to another computer and made a bootable disk from that one and ran it on this machine and got the same results. Is my computer not reading the drive after I boot, that's what my conclusion has come to be. Any other ideas and feedback to help me solve this would be greatly appreciated.

What kind of cd drive do you have? If I understand correctly it tries to search for scsi drives. If you have none, you can boot with knoppix noscsi, maybe that helps?

Does an ATAPI cdrom drive sound like it would be it? If that is the case, how do you specify that? At the F2 help screen? Where do you specify noscsi?
