Hello All,
I installed dsl to a usb drive when I boot up it brings me to the boot screen (Where you can enter boot options).  If I just hit enter my screen goes blank and nothing happens.  However, if I use the boot option vga=normal I get the following...

Code Sample

Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel
//Then some other post stuff, but then I get
...
Code: Bad EIP value.
<0>Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!


and then it just hangs.  I am using a dell inspiration d810 laptop.  Could it be the format in which I installed the os (usb-zip vs. usb-hdd)?  Do I need to enter a different boot option?
Thanks,
Matt

Wow, i just saw that error on a old machine i'm trying get back in working order. In my case it was caused by bad ram. do you have any live cd's with memtest? i used my ubuntu live cd to check mine.

What should I be looking for?  Would it work if I ran ubuntu live memtest in VMserver?  What do you mean bad ram?  The machine is my work comp and all should be in order...

same deal with 'boot> dsl acpi=off' (without boot option i get a blank screen - no penguin in the top left)

i have a dell lattitude d610

boot failsafe seems to be the only option that works for this laptop and my dell poweredge 400sc desktop.
