Syslinux ISO Not Working AnywhereForum: HD Install Topic: Syslinux ISO Not Working Anywhere started by: RAdams Posted by RAdams on Aug. 29 2006,16:54
burned the syslinux ISO to a CD-R. The MD5 checksum is correct. However, when I boot from the dsl bootfloppy or directly from CD on one system, I get "Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem" (but this may be a whole other issue... see < http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....t=15070 > for details). When I use it on another, newer system, whether I boot from the CD directly or via the DSL bootfloppy, it hangs. Running in default setup mode I get two penguins at the top and a white square (like the insert cursor in xterm) below it. If I run "dsl vga=normal", I get a message about IRQ 1, and a stack dump from the CPU consisting of two long blocks of hex addresses.I realize I'm seeing two seperate problems here, it's just frustrating to me that I can't get it to work at all, anywhere... does anyone have any suggestions? Otherwise, I guess I'll have to give Slackware a shot for my old boxes... :\ Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on Aug. 30 2006,02:58
Try "dsl failsafe" as a start and see if that works. You could also try other boot/cheat codes - see F2/F3 on boot or the wiki.

I've tried failsafe and all other relevant boot modes... DSL just doesn't work for me... :[ MODS: Given that the problem has basically become one with another issue I have, this thread can be merged with < http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....t=15070 > |
