I cannot get DSL 3.3 to boot on my Dell Latitude D610 laptop. It boots great on my Dell Inspiron 1200 laptop.

In "normal" dsl boot modes, I get the dsl splash screen where I enter the boot/cheat codes as needed. Then the kernel loads, then screen goes black forever. When I boot in "failsafe" mode, i get the following...

Bad EIP Value.
Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init!

Any ideas?

Thank you for your reply.
Still not working. I tried every "no---" cheat code (noscsi, noacpi, nousb, noagp, noapm, nomce, noddc,...) that I can find, and still no go. Same error code. Any other ideas?

Some report using noacpi and/or acpi=off might work

I had the same problem with a Dell Latitude D620. Got past it with acpi=off, but now I can't seem get DSL to recognize the USB flash drive.

I'm trying to create a bootable USB flash drive using a Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 GB Drive.

I'm a total Noob when it comes to Linux, who is still trying to unlearn Microsoft habits, so any help would be appreciated.
