did you use fromhd=/dev/sda1 ?

Maybe this is a power issue - try noapm and/or noapic as well

Tried fromhdd=/dev/sda1, noapic, noapm in various combinations to no avail.  I going to try to locate a USB-bootable PC with PS2 keyb/mouse to see if it works there.

Ok.  Same pendrive booted an IBM HS20 BladeServer semi-successfully.  There's some X11 issues with starting the desktop, but otherwise ok.

Last few attempts on the Dell Optiplex GX620 (w/USB keybd & mouse):

Booted with "dsl nousb".  This resulted in getting the same "Can not not find KNOPPIX filesystem" and dumps me to a restricted shell, but this time, I *did* have keyboard (usb) response ???

Booted using the "expert" cheat code and manually loaded the following modules : "sbp2 wd7000 usbcore usb-uhci".  It detected USB devices and prompted for more modules from floppy....alas, no keyboard (usb) response.

I'd like to add that FreeNAS (http://www.freenas.org) boots fine off a differnet (same brand) USB pendrive, and the keyboard (usb) works just fine on the same Optiplex GX620.

This really smells like a usb driver issue.
