First off don't try to boot for 12 hours. Patience is one thing, but at some point it turns into pathetic. You crossed that line with about 11 hours and 55 minutes to spare.

suggests
at the boot prompt type "knoppix nodma"
Can't hurt to try that. Could be an issue that Knoppix is aware of they're doing that they have a ready made fix for. I've no practical experience with it myself though. I never ran Knoppix.
