Ahh - thank you! I'll try that tonight and see if it works!What is different about the syslinux version?
By the way, I've come to the conclusion (=guess) that it's a faulty motherboard, so I plan to buy a new one tomorrow. Me too - v2.1.iso booting on Toshiba Portege 3440CT with an (original) external CDRom drive. It starts the USB probe then immediately stops with red text then "Can't find image... etc. dropping you to a very limited shell" etc. I tried Cbagger's tip last night of copying the /knoppix/knoppix folder and file to my C:\ dos partition as well but it didn't work either. Which boot parameter might sort this out? (CDRom drive boots first time with variety of linux live .Isos most go a bit further than DSL before stopping: - Slax Popcorn edition runs a page or so before stopping with a message questioning if my 'CD-rom is an unsupported SCSI' or something - Morphix: 'can't find image' - Puppy: This goes quite a way and stops after a memory probe - I havent got enough ram- but at least it continues to read the cdrom )Hey all,
Im having exactly the same problem with dsl-2.1b.iso. My computer is pretty new (P4 3.2ghz, 2gb ram). For me, DSL freezes just after it does the autodetect thing (percentage loader green bar). Upon freezing, the floppy drive light is illuminated. I attempted to insert a floppy before it reached that point during boot, but i only ended up nuking a floppy.
I have the latest Knoppix (4.0.2) running fine on this computer as well. Im thinking it could be due to the kernel age (2.4) vs 2.6 for the latest Knoppix.
noizHey again,
I realised it is not autodetect but autoconfigure.
Also, ive tryed the DSL cd in both my generic 52x ide cdrom and my pioneer 16x dvd-rw drive running on usb.
I'll try that tonight and see if it works!
