Hi.

I try to boot the Damned Small Linux live CD on my DELL INSPIRON 5150 laptop.

Even trying most of the parameters, including EXPERT, NO*, VGA=NORMAL, DSL boot hangup when booting KERNEL on my laptop, after INIT24 ....

Else, work fine on oldest INSPIRON 3000 and DESKTOP DELL XPST700.

Thank you for any answer.

Thank you for your help.

I read the topic you pointed. But it seems that peoples are locked farer than me in the booting process.

Anyways, i will make a test (after finishing to install FED CORE 6 ) with FAILSAFE cheat code and tell you the result.

cu.
