If failsafe is the only way you can boot knoppix,that suggests you have a hardware problem. Knoppix works in a very similar way to DSL in the way it detects hardware. If it needs failsafe to boot, then something is wrong in the way things are setup and you need to do some troubleshooting to find it (trial and error probably). I'd start by looking at your memory. How much do you have, is it shared with video, do you have a swap partition, etc.?
