I did it on a Toshiba A35-S159. I am writing a HOWTO but its not published
yet.
Here's a good Knoppix to HDD HOWTO (slow link, be patient):
http://www.distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=review-knoppix
After it's installed:
apt-get update
apt-get -u upgrade; use "D" to examine configuration file differences and
make informed decisions; if in doubt select "N" for no changes
restart Linux install
I found that I got a repeating message on console screen:
ttyS0: LSR safety check engaged!
Googling got this:
login as root,
"setserial /dev/ttyS0 autoconfig" stops message
After I was in and annoying message was stopped, I read /var/log/syslog
found the "brltty" found /dev/ttyS0 is not a tty and that the
TSI driver was giving up; sometimes this was followed by a
LSR safety check engaged! message
remove brltty (braille tty) with:apt-get remove brltty
restart
voila! no more repeating "LSR safety check engaged!" messages
My guess is that the winmodem in the laptop created this problem.
Good luck.

Make clockwise circles with your right foot.
Now use your right hand to draw the number "6" in the air.
