Whenever I try to run DSL on my old pentium laptop, it ends up in a kernel panic.boot: dsl 2 lowram fb800x600 also doesn´t work. Is there a special i386/486 kernel ?? Posted by cbagger01 on Dec. 27 2005,17:39
Notry:
where you replace the "16M" with the amount of RAM available in your computer. Make sure that it is an UPPERCASE "M" at the end Posted by Pawelski on Dec. 27 2005,18:48
I seem to have the same problem on my AST Ascentia A series laptop. Before the line:<0>Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! it says: Code: Bad EIP value. Cheatcodes don't seem to help, though I tried with fb800x600 too... Posted by hasturian on Jan. 24 2006,01:19
I've that EIP error too. I've tried a few different methods, but it always beats me...I only know it's a hardware incompatibility matter, but donno how to fix it...

I, too, get an instant kernel panic with a bad EIP when I boot DSL (2.1b) on my HP Vectra 500 Series (48M, 165MHz Pentium), but not on my HP Vectra VL/5. And -- I can boot Knoppix 4.0.2 up (2.6 kernel) on either box (given enough time!) I was hoping DSL might be moving to a newer kernel, in the hopes of resurrecting the 500 -- the VL is going a little flakey, and sometimes locks up after a few hours of playing music. I'm hoping the 500 may be more stable...

Did you guys md5sum the download to ensure it was a good copy?Also..check your BIOS and RAM, there might be some mild tweakages to get the BIOS to like linux, I always disable lpt and com ports to let DSL have more resources to play with Brian AwPhuch Posted by hasturian on Jan. 25 2006,14:10
