Laptops :: problem running DSL
Hi,
i'm tryoing to run DSL on an old laptop (centrino with 32 mb of ram);
I boot from the cd , but , when it arrives to something like "reading from /dev/scd0 the everything stop.
I tryied with all menu options but is always the same...
Any suggestion???
thanks
If the md5sum checks out, and your burned the cd at 16x or less, try the failsafe cheatcode.
also the lowram cheatcode might be good too.
-j.P.
I tried also the same cd with a new laptop (Centrino and 512 Mb of ram) and it works... Can be a lack of Ram memory???
I wouldnt think that ram would be the issue as dsl has been run by many with 32mb, although if you wanted to pick up more it would help performance.
Have you tried the failsafe code that Saidin suggested? If it still doesnt boot with failsafe than I am not sure.
I tryied but nothing change...always the same error
