Hi-
I'm trying to boot up DSL v0.5 from the CD, but after it comes to the boot prompt, loads vmlinuz etc., then it shows the little penguin at the top of the framebuffer console, and then nothing.  The cursor blinks a few times and then is just black.  If I enter any vga options into the prompt, it just says something like "Uncompressing Linux...done.  Booting kernel..." and hangs indefinately.  This happens both with an image I downloaded and burned myself, and a CD I ordered from the site.  Any ideas?

My comp:
600Mhz Pentium
128mb ram
Geforce 4 mx 64mb

Thanks,
Corvidmouth
