KNOPPIX/Morphix crash after autodetection?

[Leo J Mauler]

I have a Duron 850Mhz system with 180MB RAM, Hawking 10/100 NIC, nVidia
Geforce-2 64MB video card, and AverTV StereoTV Card (bt878).

Regardless of which Morphix or KNOPPIX Live CD I try, it crashes
immediately after the Autoconfiguring devices point in the boot process.

Any ideas?

Okay, it looks like the favored distro other than Debian and SuSE (and
Slackware from one vocal supporter :), is Gentoo.

Does Gentoo do any hardware autodetection, or will I still be stuck
picking from lists, and guessing at settings, and hoping I got the right
driver?
