I cannot get DSL 3.3 to boot on my Dell Latitude D610 laptop. It boots great on my Dell Inspiron 1200 laptop.In "normal" dsl boot modes, I get the dsl splash screen where I enter the boot/cheat codes as needed. Then the kernel loads, then screen goes black forever. When I boot in "failsafe" mode, i get the following... Bad EIP Value. Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init! Any ideas?

Thank you for your reply.Still not working. I tried every "no---" cheat code (noscsi, noacpi, nousb, noagp, noapm, nomce, noddc,...) that I can find, and still no go. Same error code. Any other ideas? Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on April 27 2007,02:54
Some report using noacpi and/or acpi=off might work

I had the same problem with a Dell Latitude D620. Got past it with acpi=off, but now I can't seem get DSL to recognize the USB flash drive.I'm trying to create a bootable USB flash drive using a Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 GB Drive. I'm a total Noob when it comes to Linux, who is still trying to unlearn Microsoft habits, so any help would be appreciated. Posted by brianegge on July 31 2007,12:42
I tried all sorts of cheat codes to get DSL to boot on my Dell 620. What worked in the end was turning off USB keyboard emulation in the BIOS.

1. Roberts suggests a solution in the DSL-4 alpha-2 release notes 2. You could partition your drive into several partitions with the boot partition <512MB 3. You could use ext2 rather than FAT. |
