Hello everybody:
running win2000 on a IBM PC340 (p133,48mb ram) is a real pain, so I decided to try DSL....but I tried everything,yet I did not succeed to boot it.
Let's see: the pc has a veeery old IBM surepath bios, so booting from cd is out of the question.
-I put DSL current version boot floppy
- Penguin screen, an that's ok
- from now on, every command I write, DSL starts to load, yet the kernel, past lines:
"HDD:WDC AC21200H, ATA DISKDRIVE
HDD:MAXTOR 87000AB, ATA DISKDRIVE
HDD:PROBING WITH STATUS (0X00) INSTEAD OF ALTSTATUS (0X50)" ---this last probing line twice---
goes:
"oops:0000
cpd:0 eip:0010 (<00000000>) not tainted
eflags:00010282
....etcetcetc...."
....till the last
"unable to handle kernel null pointer deference at virtual address 00000000
BAD EIP VALUE
<0>KERNEL PANIC:ATTEMPTED TO KILL INIT!"
finally stops my adventure.
(I will try to provide a more detailed address of the error, if it's needed: it's a pain to read all the messages in dos, 'cause the screen goes on without waiting for your eyes).
HELP ME, please! I tried booting from hd with grub and loadlin, but no success, so the prob must be in the floppy or in the hardware 
I also tried Featherlinux distro and got the same identical prob....so anyone here, please help me!
Thx in advance....
