Doesn't ring a bell with me. The kernel is well booted by then. Btw if you don't have isdn, you can turn off / uninstall all that capi stuff. It's there and on by default because *everyone* in Europe has isdn.
Boot from CD 1 and select "boot installed system", I think this boots the kernel from the CD. If it gets stuck at the same place, it's not a kernel problem.
Keep in mind that the huge advantage of booting the rescue system from CD 1 is that you can remove the CD afterwards. You can use this to downgrade packages to those on the CDs if you need to. Knoppix is a dead end here until you work out how to get the files onto hard disk first. Well assuming you only have one CD drive.
If all that doesn't help we'd need more info about in what software part exactly it's getting stuck.
