You're trying to load knoppix with an ubuntu boot disk? (that might not work). The error you recieved sounds like you didn't make the boot disk correctly (as it couldn't boot from it). What did you use to make the bootdisk?

Something else you might want to try (that worked with an older dell laptop I have) is grab a Smart BootManager floppy and use that to boot to a cd.
