Question, my system doesn't have a floppy either.  Why does DSL insist on 'pretending' that there is a floppy drive even if there physically isn't one?

I doubt it is the floppy issue.
Usually an acpi related issue.
When you boot from full knoppix, btw, which version, do you see the power related cpu, fan, etc message displayed?
I would try noacpi acpi=off or
acpi=force
Or maybe someone here has a Dell, and knows which boot params will work with your system.
