I happen to have an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 430 CDS (16 meg of ram, pentium 133 ( i think)). Simple story: Old hardware.

I saw the story about people managing to run it on a 486, so I figured I had to try it out, just for kicks!

I started out by just using fb800x600.

I keep getting a segmentation fault, etc. One of the interesting lines says: "Unable to handle kernal paging request at virtual address 6aa7e574".

Any command line tricks I can use to get it to start up?

I'll try to remember to come back and keep you posted on my efforts. :cool:

ok
I just used "fb800x600 dsl failsafe", and I actually got it to come up without crashing.

Now, it is prompting me to "Enter Runlevel". I have tried this in the past, and it always crashes, saying there are no more tasks to accomplish, or something along those lines.

I think I'll try "1".???

I'm trying it now, I had to actually reset the computer and CTRL+C didn't get me a prompt.

i tried "fb800x600 dsl failsafe" and it crashed this time. So, now I am trying "fb800x600 dsl failsafe". For some reason it is crashing this time. I am getting a "segmentation fault" and loads of gibberish.
