Hi....i'm installing DSL 2.0 on a:
Toshiba 300CDT - Pentium MMX - 133 mhz CPU- 16 mb ram
the installation process stops at:
| Code Sample |
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module fb0 XIO: fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer) on x server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. dsl@tty1[dsl]$ |
I started the install with
| Code Sample |
| lowram mem=16M |
this is the only way i can get it to install.....
anyone knows about the problem.....
hope to get this little thing running - so my 2 cousins at 6 and 9 years can have it - and start getting used to linux

Try:lowram xsetup
and choose the "xvesa" server when prompted.

Would it be better if Superkyall is just wanting to run the installation script to do that from the command line?Maybe:
dsl 2 vga=normal mem=16M
I would have thought it would be a lot quicker too to run the install script if X isn't running.
Cheers and beers,
Sarah

How are you booting the box? I seem to remember that I got a similar error message when I was booting with loadlin from dos. Admittedly, this was with Basic Linux, but as they both use Xvesa I think it may apply to DSL as well. If so, the solution is to boot dos without drivers, tsr's etc., i.e. a clean dos boot.

now I've gotten a bit further in the process - but when installing the boot loader (grub) I get an error 17 an when I try with Lilo it boots fine and starts booting up DSL - but at some point I get an error:
<1>Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual adress 236892b4 printing eip:
and then a lot of numbers and stuff.....
ending up with...
<0>Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
In interrupt handler - not syncing
don't know if this make sense to but i don't get much out of it
