Hello guys

I try to install DSL 4.3 on a partition of my HD, with the LiveCD. Everything begins right, but when the X server is to be launched (juste after Xauth..), it turns to a black screen, frozen.

If I press Ctrl+Alt+F1 I can see the last messages :
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module fb0
XIO: fatal XIO error 104

Strangely, if I try to launch it with QEMU it runs well.

Any idea of what boot command I should type?

At the first boot prompt press F2 or F3 to see other video boot options. Perhaps you should try...

boot: dsl vga=normal

boot: fb800x600

yes, but I don't know which command to add

I've tried lots but in vain. For example to run Ubuntu I have to bring -noapic  but it seems to be different here.

vga=normal or anything concerning the resolution has no effect.

All apologies I didn't report all the error lines . In fact it is : (just after Xauth...)

apm: overriden by ACPI
insmod : /lib/modules/2.4.31/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o : init-module : No such device
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.31/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/apm.o insmod char-major-10-134 failed
insmod: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by
incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ
parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module fb0
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (COnnection reset by peer) on xserver ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining


why this conflict between linux kernel and my hardware? :'(

Try "dsl noacpi noapic acpi=off" on boot

The only effect is that there isn't the lines "modprobe" anymore
