hi, i'm new here. i just burned dsl and tried to boot it. the problem is that, after some loading, the screen just goes blank and the caps lock and scroll locl leds start blinking. then, nothing else happens. i tried disabling (most) hardware detection, but then the system is unable to find knoppix data... any ideas?

I have the same problem with my laptop, this only started happening with the 0.8x versions of DSL. I have a Compaq Presario 2175 us with 512 MB DDR, I have Windows XP Professional, Mandrake Linux, and DSL 0.73 installed on this machine's HDD. I just got DSL 0.8.2 and it runs beautifully on my desktop, and yes, it even runs on my server!! (No Problems), I have tested out several configureations on other machines, and the work fine, but with my laptop I get the same thing Merkoth gets.
