To boot off of a knoppix disc use the boot option *knoppix acpi=off*. For CentOS, use *linux pci=noacpi,nommconf*.
I use:
linux pci=nomsi,nommconf hda=noprobe hdc=noprobe
The "hda=noprobe hdc=noprobe" needs to be added to /boot/grub/grub.conf after installation as well.
Without these, disk IO will be _very_ slow.
