Laptops :: Toshiba Laptop 400hmz 128ram

Hi all...I'm new here and new to DSL... (i have used mandrake in the past for several months).

I have a older laptop that I would like to get DSL working on...it runs in failsafe but the normal install it won't proceed past the Processor.. Test.

Its reports back. Processor 0 is AMD k6 -400mhz 64kb cache... Then NOTHING.

What is it trying to do at this point?

Also, with the

DSL NO Options... (is the correct command line?)

DSL no {USB}
or is it
DSL NO USB
or is it
DSL nousb

I tried a few and its seems to also check for USB.... Although I don't thinks its failing on USB checking...

Thanks,

try "dsl failsafe" first, and see if it boots with that, then start with the no options.

noscsi and noacpi are the most commonly needed.

The correct syntax is:

dsl nousb nopcmcia

etc...

nopcmcia did the trick...thanks,
