DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: PLEASE HELP
some one please help me out im suffering on a windows comp right now. This message comes up after i press enter HDB: Lost inturrupt. dont know what that means any of u guys?
Do you have an old computer?
If so, try DSL version 0.5.3.1
ya im runnin an pentium two i just got it from my neighbors. THey seem to think it can run fine with win 2000. it takes me 2 hours just to turn it on. 
where can i get an older version?
Get 0.5.3.1 from the DSL download page at the web site.
0.5.3.1 has an older kernel and it might work better with your IDE controller.
If not, try some cheatcodes:
knoppix pci=bios nodma
or after bootup try:
hdparm -m0 /dev/hdb
at the commandline. You may need to be root in order to do this.
Good Luck.
Thanks for the help its working great now.
