Change made.  I plan to give this a shot again before to long.  I got a
few thigns to try out now.  I updated sysrecue and Knoppix.  I also put
them both on CD/DVD to just in case it is a USB issue.  At least I can
test some things and hopefully find one that works. 

Thanks for all the help.  I'll post back what happens.  If it doesn't
work next time or fails from sysrescue/Knoppix, I plan to RMA the board
for another one.  If it doesn't work with either of those, then I
suspect hardware issues again.
