Exactly what kind of problems are you having when booting?I get to the boot: prompt in isolinux. It loads linux24 and minirt24.gz but then I get a black screen - no baby tux.
I have installed DSL ver. 1.5 embedded on a USB key and it boots fine. The USB key has syslinux ver. 3.06. I have checked the md5 sum of my downloaded .iso image and it is also fine.
It seems that the problem is related to the ver. 1.5 .iso image.
Multitudes There is a syslinux iso. Did you use that one for 1.4?

Bad burn from good .iso file ??
Burn speed too high ?? ( some drives are better at reading HighSpeed burns than others )
Try the option "dsl vga=normal" at boottime ??
Let us know..
73 ke4ntI hope that I have ruled out the possibility of a bad burn: I burned three copies - all of them can boot on a ThinkPad T4x.
If I try to boot with dsl vga=normal I get:
"Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel." and a blinking cursor under the "U" in Uncompressing. Then nothing.
Still puzzeled but thankfull for this release Multitudes
P.S. Did a little hacking: Switched modular drives etc. No effect. Swung a black rooster three times widdershins above the docking station. No effect. Enabled the HD in the BIOS and *that* did the trick. The ThinkPad T2x BIOS needs to have the HD enabled (if it is installed) in order to be able to boot properly. Sorry to have caused doubts about syslinux ...Next Page...
