Try booting by this method:

When splash screen comes up, press "F2"
type "dsl vga=normal" , press <enter>

If you see a penguin in the top left corner
your making progress.

If still nothing, reboot, and try this ...
fb800x600 <enter>

I have a similar problem, but this happens with an Acer Travelmate 240.
Absolutely nothing happens after the boot prompt... Any suggestions?

I have the same laptop, ThinkPad 380D with 48 MB RAM and a 2 GB HD, which is dual boot with Win98se and DSL 0.7.1.  I've tried to get the sound to work using some suggestions from the forum but no luck.  It's not a big deal but if Truman Jones or anyone else have any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.  DSL would be loaded from the CDROM as well as the HD.  Win98se says the driver is Crystal cs4232.
