How about this:

Copy the dsl cd over to your C:\ drive, IE:

C:\KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX

Note the uppercase letters.

Then boot with

failsafe acpi=off

and see if it boots.

Thanks for the answer.

I repeated the same procedure after copying the CD contents (Only the folder KONPPIX, not boot, not index.html) into the C: drive. The stable version threw me into the limited shell (better than last attempt). The latest version did boot up (also better than the last time). Now I ended up in a regular shell with commands such as ls, pwd, ps working. The error message that was printed just before the boot sequence aborted is as follows:

modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module fb0
XIO:  fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on Xserver ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.  

Processes running are : [keventd][ksoftirqd_CPU0][kswapd][bdflush][kupdated][khubd][-su][/bin/bash -login]

Hmm...

How about:

dsl acpi=off xsetup

or

failsafe acpi=off xsetup

and then choose the xvesa server when prompted.

Thanks again for persisting with me.

failsafe acpi=off xsetup

gave the same result (bash prompt after several selections)

dsl  acpi=off xsetup  

went much further than last time but stoppeed after two lines "xauth creating new authority file /home/dsl/.Xauthority"
