User Feedback :: DSL 2.1 Trouble Booting

I tried to boot on my Dell Latitude D600 with fb1280x1024 and got

It blew up trying to Autoconfigure devices:

Oops: 0000
CVP: 0
EIP: 0010:[<f8d31986>] Not tainted
EFLAGS: 00010207
...

This includes stuff like a stack trace and call trace.
Then there's a kernal panic.

What's up with this? Is there a work around? Is this the right place to report bugs?

cheers.

With "failsafe" I get a warning that there is no root file system. When I type a command I get another kernal panic.

OK. I may have been using the wrong iso.
So I tried the syslinux.iso and that seems to get stuck
on dealing with scsi, even when I specify noscsi at the boot options.

Try booting with

expert

and say no to SCSI

Hmm.. that's the same kernel error I see..

Try using this at the bootprompt

" dsl acpi=off noapic "

If this works, you can add te other boot options to it,
like "dma" "toram" etc...
