Greetings! I'm trying to get DSL running using a HDD install on a Telxon PTC-2134. When I attempt to boot the machine, I get this message:

"No coprocessor found and no math emulation present"
"Giving up"

A quick google search turned up that the kernel needs to be compiled with a coprocessor emulation option. If I were to try to compile a DSL kernel with this, how would I go about doing that?

This very well may be beyond my reach (I've compiled a couple kernels before, but still not comfortable with it), but I figured I'd ask.

Thanks for your time,
OCA

You may want to try on old version of DSL v0.5.3.1 which can be found < here >
