you can try:

dsl noscsi

FYI,

DSL 0.8.0 boots just fine on my machine:

p4 2.8GHz 800Mhz FSB w/hyperthreading
Intel 875pzd style motherboard (made for Dell 400sc server)
512MB Dual channel RAM
40GB standard ATA/100 hard drive (NOT SATA hard drive)
1 48x CDROM drive
1 48x USB2 CD-RW drive
ATI brand (built by ATI. The real card and not the "powered by ATI" knock-offs) 9600XT AGP card
19" MAG CRT monitor

And if you want my system to be REALLY like yours:

AccessDTV Digital TV card

Of course my Digital TV card is actually sitting in my old Pentium-III computer.

FYI, it has been noted that many of these cards will cause problems if you do not set hyperthreading to OFF.

You can usually do this in the BIOS, or you can make an attempt to ignore it by
booting with:

dsl nosmp

Good Luck.
