OK, taking a couple of steps back here:

Is this an absolutely "from scratch" KnoppMyth installation,or was it  
an existing Knoppix install you are trying to get KnoppMyth to run on  
top of.

It's beginning to sound like you do not have a real "from the  
beginning" KonppMyth install, because, while they can have problems,  
they normally at least can access the capture cards. You may have  
files hanging around that are not compatible with KnoppMyth and  
didn't get deleted/overwritten by your installation.

If you haven't already, I would try starting from an absolutely blank  
hard drive and installing KnoppMyth from total scratch.
