Update:
In the "Laptop" section there are many posts from users with this issue.  I have tried some tricks like keyboard control and dropping down to a command prompt with no luck.  I somehow did get down to a command prompt, but I could  not get any keyboard response.  

Also, I noticed that during boot dsl did see a mouse (generic).  I don't know if that was the TP or the USB mouse.  Perhaps more importantly, it MISREAD MY PROCESSOR.  DSL thinks I have a Pentium II!  Does this mean that DSL doesn't recognize Pentium M processors?

Reminder: I'm a donor!

You are using DSL embedded.

DSL embedded is actually running inside a virtual computer that is created by the software program called QEMU

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QEMU

This emulated computer system has a fake (simulated) Pentium II CPU, which is why you see that message.

FYI, you can exit the QEMU window by pressing

CTRL-ALT

to re-enter the window, simply click on an object inside the QEMU window.

Also, you can go fullscreen and back with:

CTRL-ALT-F

But keep in mind that your host operating system (Microsoft Windows) keyboard commands are still in effect, so if you press combinations like

ALT-TAB
CTRL-ALT-DEL

you will be jumped back into MSWindows and it will mess up the QEMU keyboard state.

To fix this, re-enter QEMU again and then press and release each individual key that was pressed, ie:
CTRL
ALT
TAB

NOT at the same time.  One at a time.

and you will be back in business.
