Hello All, I installed dsl to a usb drive when I boot up it brings me to the boot screen (Where you can enter boot options). If I just hit enter my screen goes blank and nothing happens. However, if I use the boot option vga=normal I get the following...
Code Sample
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel //Then some other post stuff, but then I get ... Code: Bad EIP value. <0>Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
and then it just hangs. I am using a dell inspiration d810 laptop. Could it be the format in which I installed the os (usb-zip vs. usb-hdd)? Do I need to enter a different boot option? Thanks, MattWow, i just saw that error on a old machine i'm trying get back in working order. In my case it was caused by bad ram. do you have any live cd's with memtest? i used my ubuntu live cd to check mine.What should I be looking for? Would it work if I ran ubuntu live memtest in VMserver? What do you mean bad ram? The machine is my work comp and all should be in order...http://www.memtest.org/same deal with 'boot> dsl acpi=off' (without boot option i get a blank screen - no penguin in the top left)
i have a dell lattitude d610
boot failsafe seems to be the only option that works for this laptop and my dell poweredge 400sc desktop.Next Page...
