Laptops :: Thinkpad 380ed

We've got to get it to boot into DSL first..

Have you tried another CD ?
Some cdrom drives are very picky..
Some cd drives like cdroms burned at 1x,2x,4x, etc..

Yes, the filesystem is on the CD..

And you seem to have made it past the boot,
if your seeing the "limited filesystem" messages..

I've seen this when reading from a "borderline" cdrom.
I usually burned another one, and roblem solved...

Does this same cd work on another box?

Sorry modrak exactly who are you trying to help ?

I have a boot problem and a KNOPPIX fs not being found.
What does soundblaster have to do with this ?

You posted a solution that is found on this thread ?

I'll ask again.

Does anyone know what's up with DSL 0.8.0 telling me that KNOPPIX fs is not found when I boot and what am I suppose to do about it?

My previous post was directed at you, guest .. not modrak

Actually ke4nt I was at first thinking the ISO may be bad.

But I haven't been able to redownload it yet.
Don't know what the ISO structure is suppose to look like but windows can read it so I was thinking the CD was good. What does the typical Thinkpad like 1x, 4x, how fast a speed.

I'll try another machine first and see what happens.

The laptop I'm trying this on has two blank ext3 partitions and a swap. Does DSL have problems with ext3? If I get the CD loaded should I change the partitions before installing to hard drive?

Sorry ke4nt
Was replying to modrak before I replied to you.
