Laptops :: fatal IO error 104

Hello all...

I have a problem. I can't get to the DSL desktop, and I'm getting the same error msg when i try from both liveCD and a HD install with a swap partition.

the message is

modprobe: can't locate module fb0
XIO: fatal IO error 104

I've been doing some searching and realize its related to some video config thing... what i should i do next ?

the toshiba satellite cdt4000 is a pretty old laptop, running with P2-233 Mhz, and 32 MB RAM.

i'm quite a green noob, just cutting my teeth in the linux world, so I'd really appreciate any guidance!

Hello

Did you use md5sum to verify your download. -Is your boot media corrupt?
What happens when you change around using xsetup? failsafe? see the wiki for more boot/cheat codes.

Did you get any errors before this? And when does it occur? Can you still use DSL after this error?

I can't help, but I can sympathize, since I get the same error depending on how I do it.

I don't think it's an md5 sum problem, since I can get around by doing xsetup and selecting a semi-legitimate option. I'm gonna try the manual dpi override...

my download is ok..not an md5 sum problem, the DSL live CD works perfectly on another laptop (a newer one)

tried xsetup, this is what i got after choosing the options-

sed: /opt/bootlocal.sh : no such file or directory
