Whenever I try to run DSL on my old pentium laptop, it ends up in a kernel panic.

boot: dsl 2 lowram fb800x600

also doesn´t work.

Is there a special i386/486 kernel ??

No

try:

Code Sample
dsl 1 vga=normal atapicd noideraid nosound noapic noacpi acpi=off noscsi noapm nousb nopcmcia nofirewire noagp nomce mem=16M

where you replace the "16M" with the amount of RAM available in your computer.  Make sure that it is an UPPERCASE "M" at the end

I seem to have the same problem on my AST Ascentia A series laptop. Before the line:
<0>Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
it says:
Code: Bad EIP value.
Cheatcodes don't seem to help, though I tried with fb800x600 too...

I've that EIP error too. I've tried a few different methods, but it always beats me...I only know it's a hardware incompatibility matter, but donno how to fix it...

I, too, get an instant kernel panic with a bad EIP when I boot DSL (2.1b) on my HP Vectra 500 Series (48M, 165MHz Pentium), but not on my HP Vectra VL/5.  And -- I can boot Knoppix 4.0.2 up (2.6 kernel) on either box (given enough time!) I was hoping DSL might be moving to a newer kernel, in the hopes of resurrecting the 500 -- the VL is going a little flakey, and sometimes locks up after a few hours of playing music. I'm hoping the 500 may be more stable...
